Our Sizing Tips
- If your two measurements do not match up, we recommend choosing the size associated with your thigh measurement
- This support is designed to be compressive and may feel tight as a result; if you would prefer less tightness, please select a larger size
- If you do not own a flexible tape measure, use a piece of string to take your measurements, then measure the string with a ruler
- Please take into account any joint swelling before buying, as this could mean you need a larger size
Which Conditions Can the GenuTrain A3 Knee Brace Help With?
Designed to delay the progress of knee degeneration, the GenuTrain A3 is most suited to the following conditions:
- Gonarthrosis
- Ligamentosis
- Tendomyopathy
- Post-traumatic and post-operative support
- Jumper's knee
- Knee pain
- Patellar lateralisation
Why Use the Bauerfeind GenuTrain Knee Brace?
Osteoarthritis and other chronic knee conditions can cause a real disruption to everyday life, making it harder to walk to the shops, play sports or even make it up the stairs. The GenuTrain Knee Support is designed to help these tasks easy again, featuring a viscoelastic Omega pad that relieves pain, stabilises the knee joint and significantly improves movement.
How Does the GenuTrain A3 Knee Brace Work?
The construction of the GenuTrain A3 and the material used guarantee that the support is both medically effective and a comfortable fit, with a softer knit in the hollow of the knee, pressure-reduced edges, breathable materials and an elastic shape adapted to suit any body shape.
The three-dimensional Train Active knit helps the muscular stabilisation of the knee joint, while integrated visco-elastic pads prevent the knee cap from slipping, combat pain and massage the surrounding tissue. Two spiral stays located on the sides retain the shape of the support; the skin underneath thus remains pleasantly dry, and nothing is constricted.

Relieves Pain Faster With Intermittent Compression Massage
Fitted with a star-shaped patella cushion, the GenuTrain A3 Knee Brace provides soothing pain relief thanks to specially nubbed zones that massage the area. The combination of massage and compression isn't just good for pain relief, it also improves your proprioception, which makes you more aware of your movements to avoid re-injury.
The Perfect Shape for Function and Comfort
The ingenious shape of the GenuTrain knee brace achieves optimal knee support and a high level of wearer comfort. A breathable, skin-friendly knit adapts to your every move without irritation or slipping, and the material used is softer for the skin and more elastic in sensitive areas such as behind the knee.
Return to Activity Sooner
Staying active is the best way to counteract progressive joint degeneration; the more you move, the more your body works to repair damaged cartilage. However, staying active can be difficult when pain and swelling gets too much, which is why a corrective knee brace that relieves pain is an essential aid.

- GenuTrain - designed for weak, swollen or painful knees
