Always the right amount: Dynamic re-centring

• Dynamic re-centring ensures the right amount of patella guiding at all flexion angles
• Even control of the force, no over-correction, and avoidance of patella tilting
• Relief of the cartilage thanks to targeted guiding of the patella in the patellofemoral groove
• Individual adjustment options using hook and loop / ratchet closures
• Lasting rehabilitation through the targeted Patella Move training program
• High degree of wearer comfort thanks to the breathable material and low weight
• Perfect fit due to the unique Vector Grip Effect
• Thanks to the slim design, little bulk is added beneath clothing
  

A range of symptoms which often result in a visit to an orthopaedic clinic are grouped under the term "anterior knee pain" or "femoropatellar pain syndrome". This pain is often caused by patella guiding problems. The therapy goal is to reposition the patella so it moves correctly.

To achieve effective patella guiding, the Patella Pro features a unique therapy approach which is proven to be better than typical orthoses: The dynamic re-centring technique.

The risk of improper guiding is particularly high for low bending angles of 10-30°, when the patella is not guided much by the patellofemoral groove. This is exactly where the Patella Pro comes in: At the relevant physiological bending angles of 10-30°, the kneecap is guided in the physiologically correct patellofemoral groove by the dynamic re-centring technique of the orthosis. The frequently inflamed soft tissue is relieved, and knee pain is reduced by functional relief of the joint structures. The pressure on the guide system does not increase in proportion to the bending angle. Tilting of the kneecap and the resulting increased pressure on the joint surfaces is avoided. The Patella Pro has been biomechanically proven to ensure re-centring of the patella over the relevant flexion range - it always provides the right amount of guiding.

One-time fitting of the orthosis is performed in six easy steps. Quick release closures and donning loops make for easier donning and doffing of the orthosis. For optimal function, hook and loop material and ratchet closures can be used to fit the Patella Pro to the patient's individual requirements.

The low weight and breathable material of the Patella Pro provide the patient with excellent wearer comfort. The unique Vector Grip Effect prevents migration of the orthosis.

The targeted Patella Move exercise program supports treatment with the Patella Pro in order to ensure lasting rehabilitation. With your assistance, the patient can select exactly those exercises which promote lasting, pain-free mobility.
