The Genu Arthro Brace is designed based on the classic three-point principal – the  longer the lever arm, the smaller the force required to achieve load reduction and significant pain relief at the knee. The long lever arms of the Genu Arthro ensure an ideal distribution of force and a gentle build-up of pressure. The result is a precise reduction of the valgus and/or varus moment — lessening painful rubbing of the joint surfaces.

Individually Adjustable

The slim construction, innovative strap guide, and slender profile help ensure correct positioning of the orthosis and reduces migration, delivering effective relief. The high level of clinical benefit and comfort plays a decisive role in achieving therapy goals like decreasing pain and increasing activity.

The tube frame of the Genu Arthro makes it easy to attain an individualized fit and also ensures real stability. The unilateral joint design further minimizes weight and offers greater comfort — and thus compliance — for users.  In addition, the Genu Arthro distinguishes itself with high comfort, as well as lightweight design, frame pads made from breathable SpaceTex®, and easy-to-use belt pad closures that make daily wear simpler. The modern design of the Genu Arthro has no rigid components at the thigh so that the customer can sit comfortably.

Proven Effectiveness

Osteoarthritis studies have proven the effectiveness of orthoses, like the Genu Arthro, relieve the medial knee joint by creating a valgus moment on the knee joint which counteracts the varus moment. This therapeutic approach has proven its effectiveness, both in gait analysis studies and in clinical studies.

Indication
