Bauerfeind - GenuTrain S - Hinged Knee Brace Support - Advanced Stability of the knee joint

Excellent product, well made. AND, IT DOES REQUIRE SPECIFYING THE ORDER FOR RIGHT OR LEFT KNEE. I twisted my knee 5 weeks ago and it progressively got worse. First, pain just below the knee cap while climbing stairs. Two weeks later I had to shovel mud off a steep driveway and wheel barrow the muck (twisting my body and legs), all of which exacerbated the injury and pain on the inside and out side the knee with swelling. Now there was pain walking down hill and stair climbing was one step at a time without placing any stress on the injured leg, any length of time on the leg caused minor swelling. After three weeks of suffering I bought the Genu Train leg brace after doing a couple of hours on-line research and talked to my brother who had multiple knee injuries (off road motor cycle & basket ball) and surgeries. I received it promptly in 4 days, exactly what I ordered! I couldn't believe how well it supported my knee, not by feel or limited motion, I didn't really notice any motion limitations, but how little pain and no swelling there was at the end of the day...just after twelve hours! I have been using it for two weeks, at home and on the job (construction). I have to be cautious on uneven ground, limit load carrying, body twisting, balance and squatting/kneeling. I even was able to wear knee pads one whole day on the job while kneeling on concrete and drain rock. At home I can go up and down the stairs with normal steps with or with out the brace, and without pain. I'm impressed with design, manufacture, fit and comfort, it is well made and performs as promised. I see no problem in wearing the brace the next 2 to 4 months as my knee heals. Thank you from a happy pain free customer!

I bought this to protect my knee as I'm recovering after a complex knee injury (MCL, ACL tears, cartilage damage). Wanted to have something that would be well fitting, minimally intrusive, and giving my knee good protection against unexpected valgus forces. This brace does the job fantastically. A great fit, does not slip. I almost don't feel it as I cycle, hike or just walk around town. At the same time the side brace is solid, provides some resistance for flexion, and has a limit to about 100 degrees of flexion. Fabric stretches well, breathes well too. I wear it over bare knee or like in these photos over my cold weather cycling tights.I'm 6'1", 230lbs, size 6 fits me well.

Felt great when I put it on but the first time I tried to adjust it, it broke in two.

Incredible support - love the brace and would be a 5 star easy except that the hinges started squeeking after just the second use. Squeeking pretty loudly as I run on city streets in los angeles and the squeeking is constant and annoying. Going to write to the company and see if there is any lubrication I can add or if its a defect - but it didnt seem like the hinges were accessable so we'll see.

With way too much personal experience I can attest that Bauerfeind makes the best knee braces. They are breathable, comfortable and durable. Yes it’s expensive and it’s worth every penny. As braces go it’s comfortable. It breathes. It doesn’t chafe, and you can confidently rely on it to stabilize and support the knee through the day. Nobody wants to wear a knee brace, but this is the one to get if you have to have one. I have worn way too many and tried way too many. No matter what level of support the Bauerfeind braces are next level in terms of comfort and performance. You can get another brand and pay less, but if you’re like me you’ll have irritation, sweat and constantly fiddle with it. I suffered enough with a bad knee. This brace is one luxury that was totally worth it. The company is great to work with. I misjudged my size once and had to exchange it. It was an easy process - no questions and fast.

Recently had two knee cleanups and needed a brace to get me thru my workouts after physical therapy. Bought this brace for both knees and I feel so much more stable and secure when I wear them. I’m not able to play tennis yet but I have no doubt that these braces will provide me the additional stability I will need for my movements.

Not like the original one I had from years ago. The hinge will rub against skin rubbing it raw, i ended up using mole skin to cover it up on a recent snow riding trip.

This knee support by Bauerfeind is amazing--such an outstanding, well-manufactured, quality product. In fact, everything about it displays the careful design and craftsmanship of this support. To be certain, it is not inexpensive, and like me, you may be someone wondering whether or not this support is worth all the money. Let me tell you that it is. Also, I had the recommendation of both a physical therapist and my ortho surgeon for this specific brand and design. I cannot be more pleased. However, please note that it is critical that you follow the instructions for measurement prior to purchase and ordering. Take your time. In fact, have someone else take the measurements, and do it more than once to confirm the numbers. I have a good, snug fit that is comfortable and provides significant relief (post meniscus surgery and ongoing knee issues due to arthritis and aging. Thank you, Bauerfeind, for such an excellent knee support. Frankly, it deserves more "stars" than just five!
