What does the GenuPoint actually do?

It compresses and guides the patellar tendon while a four-point pad presses on the area below the kneecap. The aim is to reduce the stabbing pain of runner's knee and jumper's knee and support muscle function.

How is it different from a sleeve or a full knee brace?

It is a narrow strap around the patellar tendon, not a sleeve over the whole knee. That leaves the kneecap and joint free while targeting one spot, so it does not stabilize an unstable knee.

Will it fit me or my child?

It comes in several sizes rather than one universal fit, which is why the maker says it works for children too. Measure the leg as the size guide directs before ordering, since worn items cannot be returned.

Can I wear it all day and for sport?

Yes. The maker describes it for work, leisure and sport, and says it sits securely without slipping. Footballers and other ball-sport players are its most common users.

Can I return it if it doesn't fit?

No. Worn goods are excluded from return or exchange for hygiene reasons, so get the size right before you wear it.

About the Bauerfeind GenuPoint Knee Strap

The Bauerfeind GenuPoint is a patella strap worn directly below the kneecap. It supports the knee in patellar tendon complaints such as Jumper's Knee and Runner's Knee. The strap can be positioned on the most painful area.

A functional pad on the front has four nubby pressure points that act on the area under the kneecap. The inner points guide the patellar tendon. The outer points enhance sensory perception in the surrounding area. A Velcro strap fixes and adjusts the compression on both sides, so the strap stays in place as the knee bends. Deflection buckles on both sides make it easy to put on.

The Train knit is soft, breathable and slim. The flat design is hardly visible under clothing. It can be worn at work, in leisure time and during sports. It comes in several sizes, which makes it suitable for children too.
