DESCRIPTION

SofTec Genu passively and actively stabilizes the knee by combining the mechanical relief provided by a hard-frame orthosis and the muscle activating properties of supports. The orthosis helps to prevent incorrect movements while promoting safe mobilization. It therefore reduces pain and supports the healing process, especially with ACL tears and complex instabilities. Ideal for athletic use (low - medium impact sports)
