Test winner
The K-COM was awarded first place comparing
14 of the most commonly used knee braces.
The idea of developing our own knee brace
was born right at our company over 25 years
ago. The reason: Insufficient options for care
and support offered by other knee braces.
As such, all of our experience has been
flowing into the permanent further deve-
lopment of the K-COM concept. This most
particularly applies to the use of our braces
by serious and professional athletes. This
requires our K-COM knee braces to have
to pass the test of extreme workloads. To
ensure this, we make use of high-tech ma-
terials such as high-strength carbon fibers
and low-wear titanium braces as well as the
most modern manufacturing techniques.
All this experience and the constant
improvements help wearers on a daily basis.
This has been shown by above-average
positive feedback from our patients. Clinical
studies with over 2’000 evaluated questi-
onnaires in the span of a ten-year overview
clearly indicate these results. Most note-
worthy are the excellent results achieved
by Gonarthrosis treatment for axle mal-
positioning.
The joint braces are laminated in
an extremely solid yet light carbon-
fiber construction.
The trim lines of brace sections are
determined individually and depen-
dent on the exact indications.
Testing and controlling the brace
results on the treadmill.
The inflection and extension
limitations can be assembled
independently of each other.
In the Vivo Workload Measurement of the
subject groups at the German Sport University
in Cologne so as to determine the stabilization
characteristics of the K-COM knee brace.
Test Winner:
In the German equivalent of the MOT test (TÜV) by
the base institute for biomechanics, namely TÜV
Munich, our K-COM ranked first amongst 14 of the
most commonly used knee braces.
