Indications
- Irritative conditions, especially osteoarthritis (found in
tendomyopathy, post-traumatic and post-operative)
|
- Knee pain with functional instability due to general muscular
imbalance
|
|
|
|
Features
- The newly developed insert encompasses typical pain areas and
important receptor zones of the knee joint.
|
- In addition, the viscoelastic insert has friction zones that are
covered with massaging nodules.
|
- The patella corrective guide is imbedded in the insert zone.
|
- The breathable, anatomical knit is very comfortable to wear.
|
- Two spiral stays located on the sides retain the shape of the knit.
|
- A special, non-irritative weave is incorporated in the critical area
behind the knee.
|
- A stretch zone in the lower leg area facilitates application and
removal.
|
|
Mode of Action
- The compression/decompression effect resulting form movement similar
to a friction massage promotes the reduction of edema and resorption of
swelling. This accelerates the healing process and leads to pain
reduction in the medial subcapsular ligament area.
|
- The stimulation of skin receptors and nerve endings in the
muscle-tendon transition enhances proprioception. This leads to a
synchronization and activation of the muscles. The vastus medialis
is stimulated in particular. The rectus tendon is left free.
|
- The integrated tracking wire in the knetted fabric counteracts
patellar shifting.
