Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee Support

is very comfortable for daily use .

After my recent left knee injury, the MRI indicated chondromalacia but no tears in the ligaments or meniscus. The injury occurred when I stepped down (all of 2"), leading with my left leg, and slipped on our wet back patio surface, jamming the knee slightly. It swelled with fluid buildup, and most of my pain was on the medial (interior) side of the kneecap, with some on the lateral side.A Texas MedClinic doctor examined it and suggested I get a better brace than the Dr. Brace I had on. It works when the velcro straps are tight, but it's hot and starts to bind after about an hour. A search for "knee brace for chondromalacia" turned up the GenuTrain P3.Yes, the price tag for the P3 is considerable, but it's cheaper than being debilitated or going to knee surgery. I believe the investment is worth it, and as I said, a cheaper brace left me dissatisfied. Here are my thoughts after a few days of using the P3.Stability. The first thing I noticed is the enhanced stability. When the kneecap locks into the massage pad, it's very snugly in place. My knee won't rotate or buckle backwards. Wearing it helps me get around the house without a cane (I was on crutches for a while). The packaging says "optimum kneecap control" and I agree, I'd say stability is the primary reason to buy this.Fit. I'm at the lower end of the range in the sizing chart for a size 5, and I will say it's SNUG. The compression effect is also a strong benefit. A heads-up: some reviewers indicated it's hard to put on. The best method is to pull on the vertical struts along either side (not the fabric). My finding is it's relatively easy to get on because you are pulling toward you. Taking it off at first was less fun - it's tough to get enough leverage to pull it away from you, and it was getting stuck on my heel. After several on/off cycles, it's becoming a bit more flexible, and I'm getting the hang of removing it.Comfort. The guide says the brace should be worn for 2 to 4 hours at a stretch, and I've been doing a few hours twice a day. It is snug, as I said, you don't forget you have it on, but it is comfortable. It does not get hot or bind when standing or sitting. It also provides support at any degree of normal knee bend both above and below the kneecap (deep knee bends or lunges are off my list for a while).Since I've only had it a few days, I can't speak to durability yet, but it does seem very well constructed.It is definitely helping me get around with less pain and more confidence. I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike soon, but right now I'd be happy to be able to walk the dogs again. Since chondromalacia is a degenerative condition, I expect having the P3 on hand will be helpful in holding this knee stable and keeping it healthier in the future.Strong recommend - the stability and comfort are worth every cent.

La ginocchiera è stata consegnata in tempo. Ho dovuto anche fare più resi perché non riuscivo a trovare la taglia giusta e in tutto ciò il fornitore è stato gentilissimo. Ottimo prodotto lo consiglio

Mir ist diese Bandage von einem Orthopäden empfohlen worden, nachdem ich mit den Standards nicht zurecht komme.Positiv: sitzt sehr gut, lässt sich einstellen.Negativ und für mich Hauptgrund sie zurückzugeben : sehr dickes Polster, man sieht aus, als ob man eine Windel um's Knie gebunden hat. Passt also auch nur unter weite Hosen.Der Preis ist normal. Die Lieferung war zügig

malgré la bonne taille ,l atelle reste étroite
