Perfect for Athletes, January 13, 2012
|
By
Geoff, High School Lacrosse Player(Huntington Beach, CA)
I had knee surgery on both knees to repair torn patella cartilage. The genutrain was the brace my orthopedic surgeon recommended for when I play sports. It works great! It supports the kneecap and keeps it stable, and when I go down on my knees for ground shots the padding around the kneecap lessens the impact to it, but it also allows me to be very mobile and doesn't slow me down. When I forget to wear it to a game, I am in a lot of pain afterward, but when I wear it I'm not. We just ordered two more in a bigger size because I outgrew the old ones.

Great product, January 7, 2012

By
deedough(Westford, Ma)
It's a good product..the only issue is that if you fall on a rubber floor while playing the knee brace will rip, but I think any knee brace would do that on this type of floor.

This knee brace is good and comfortable and one of the best I tried. The only thing I notice after wearing it for about 2 weeks I notice it gets really loose so it slips down with movement

We measured and err on the smaller size. Unfortunately the knee support constantly slides down.

On the mend, July 6, 2011
|
By
sal(Bradbury, CA)
I am a 48 year old male. I love playing Tennis 3-4 days a week. I severely sprained my knee damaging my meniscus and surrounding ligaments. After a few weeks of rest and ice, I slowly recovered. I wanted a brace that would give plenty of support yet allow movement so I could continue to play.
I have been very satisfied with this product. The fit is so comfortable I sometimes forget I have it on. I'm not so worried about re injury. My knees are not what they used to be. I think this knee support will protect my knees for future play. I'm ordering another.

Long Term User of GenuTrain Knee Support, June 25, 2011
|
By
Geezer Jock(Oak Lawn, IL)
I have been using the Genutrain Knee supports for over 15 years. I use them primarily for aerobic classes and find them supportive, comfortable, and enduring. I have had to replace them only every several years as they hold up very well.

Miracle product!, May 27, 2011
|
By
Christine(long island, ny)
I bought this product as a 'step down' from a much more constrictive brace. I have a torn miniscus in my rt knee and have had problems for yrs. I recently gained alot of wt due to medical issues and as I was trying to lose the wt, I needed a good brace to support my knee. The one I was using was very cumbersome, with metal hinges and blocks on the sides as my knee tends to buckle. It served a purpose for awhile but as I became more active, it was just too much and way to constricting to the point of almost cutting off circulation. I started looking for a brace that would still provide support but wasn't as contrictive. I found this one and after reading the reviews of others who also had a torn miniscus, I decided to try it. I was a little hesitant when first using it because my knee can be so unstable but I must say I am very impressed and very happy to report that I am able to do even more with this brace then the large, restrictive one I had for yrs. I feel totally confident in the support that it provides and I am able to do any activity I want, even running which has been a problem for me for some time!! This brace has given me the freedom do what I want without causing pain, numbness or restrictive feeling. I am so glad I purchased this and would recommend to anyone.

A Wonderful Surprise!, April 14, 2011
|
By
Joe(Indianapolis, IN)
I am a 61 year old male and have enjoyed playing tennis for some time. I began having problems with both knees several years ago, to include having meniscus surgery, and was getting concerned about my ability to continue. I tried several off the shelf store products but was dissatisfied for various reasons. Purchasing and using this product has allowed me to not only contiue playing but has eliminated the knee pain both during and after court time! The extent of the relief provided was surprising and well worth the cost for two braces.

Great brace, December 27, 2010
|
By
Ron(Plano, TX)
I used the fitment chart and first bought a size 5, based on the sizing per the fitment chart. However it did not give enough support, so I bought the size 4, which is perfect. So for me the one size smaller than the fitment chart indicated was the solution. I play tennis, am 64, and have arthritis in my knee, and this brace is the best one out there, by far.
Thanks.

X2 knee replacement girl(Asheville, NC)
This support is very comfortable. I have less stiffness and soreness the day after hiking and playing tennis. it is cooler and more comfortable than the cheaper variety sold in drugstores. I would wear it more often, but I have varicosities in the leg with the knee replacement.

By

I love this brace. It is very comfortable to exercise in. It is a replacement for the very bulky one that my Orthopedic MD prescribed for me. I would recommend this for anyone with knee problems.

This product was recommended by my brother-in-law and sister who are both physicians. My knee was troublesome probably due to jogging. Wearing this knee support has brought genuine relief. I would recommend this product. The fabric and design features are favorable.

Best Brace Ever! , June 5, 2010
|
By
Kirt the golfer guy(Nederland , Tx.)
I currently had my 3rd knee surgery in 30 years.
I purchased this brace for some stability for things such as working around the house, walking,and playing golf. I played my first round of golf since my surgery (2 weeks) and have never felt better! I felt extremely comfortable and virtually pain free! I would highly recommend this brace for any with knee prbolems.

Worth Buying, May 10, 2010
|
By
Retired(Springfield, Illinois)
I am in need of knee replacements. I bought one knee support and used it on the worst knee for a couple months. When I saw how much it helped I bought the second one from you. Knee surgery is scheduled in July for the first knee of my choice unless I reschedule again as I have 2 times now for a completely different reason. So thank you for the great knee brace that provides me some comfort.

Outstanding !!!!!, April 26, 2010
|
By
Sole(Ellensburg, WA)
The best knee brace I have ever used! I have struggled with patellar tendonitis and bursitis for about six years now, and tried many knee braces, but none of them come close to the GenuTrain. I recommend it everyone I know who is suffering from chronic knee pain. This is a great investment and worth every penny. I truly recommend this if you are suffering from chronic knee pain, or are recovering from an injury.

Swiss Precision, April 21, 2010
|
By
Linda from Oz(Brisbane, Australia)
I fell on ice and needed a knee reconstruction while in St MOritz, Switzerland last Christmas. Thank heavens someone pointed me in the direction of Klinik Gut where some of the best Knee Surgeons in the world can be found. They gave me this brace to use from week 3. I got a second one, as I am in the gym doing rehab every second day. It's great and from week 6 allowed me to do floor work in my pilates class.
These guys are the clinic to a number of international ski race teams - I think they would only use products which really work - it certainly has for me.

BIGGEST SIZE NOT BIG ENOUGH, February 27, 2010
|
By
Laura(Silver Spring, MD)
if it would fit me, I guess it would be a good product. But I am a fat woman, the bigest size they have is not good enough for me and it strangles my leg. They should make something that could fit fatter people. I am a size 3 plus size, hardly the bigest woman, and this does not fit. As they don't allow you to return it, I am stuck with it, and it is quite expensive.

By
karend13(Nashville, TN)
My sports medicine doctor gave me this brace for a misaligned kneecap and tendonitis. It offers great support without constricting movement. I use it for playing soccer, running and working out. It's easy to clean and holds up well.
I've tried other supports/braces and have not received the same level of support as the Baouerfeind GenuTrain.

A Must Have for knee support, August 20, 2009
|
By
Gale the yogi(Los Angeles , Ca.)
I have been practicing yoga for fifteen years in addition to
hiking and running. I had a miniscus tear in my left knee and was told by my orthopedic doctor to stop everything and go to physical therapy three times a week. After a few weeks my knee improved and I felt I was ready to do some walking. My physical therapist suggested the Bauerfeind Genutrain.
Now, thanks to this amazing product, I am back hiking and walk/running 4 miles a day. I just ordered 1 more.
It is a great product I highly recommend.

Got the genutrain from the doctor to help with torn menicus. Works great. Ordered two more, one as back-up and one for the other knee which is dealing with patella malalignment. This product works great for both.

Genutrain brace has a great impact, July 22, 2009
|
By
Tbone263(Killington Vt)
I tore all four ligaments in my left knee in a horrible ski accident. I had my ACL,PCL replaced with cadavers and have in been in PT for 6 months now. The Genutrain brace has been very helpful as of lately. I hope to be back up on the mountain as a full time Ski patroller this winter & plan to wear the brace as a comforting support. Very comfortable,light wieght,& easy to wash. I recomend it highly.

Great Brace, March 30, 2009
|
By
David(NC)
A wonderful brace, worth every penny. I hurt my knee playing flag football months ago and my old knee is still bothering me - gets very stiff, hard to bend, aches while I walk..Wearing the brace I'm able to participate in a basketball league again. The brace provides great support, stays place even when soaked with sweat, and completely removes my knee pain. I'm considering wearing it all the time now! More than most neoprene braces but so much better. I've handwashed it numerous times and has kept its form and feel.
