Based on science
How does the LumboTrain back support activate the torso muscles during movement and static load? Which effects does the GenuTrain OA soft orthosis have on the activity levels of patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee?  What kind of effect does the ErgoPad redux heel 2 foot orthosis have during the initial treatment of plantar fasciitis?The collection of clinical and experimental studies shows current research relating to Bauerfeind’s supports, orthoses, and foot orthoses. For each study, a double page provides information on background, methodology, and data obtained. Diagrams and a conclusion illustrate key results. Indications of the sources refer to original publications. Some of these are available open access.

Effectiveness during everyday activities
How do hip patients rate the effectiveness of the CoxaTrain during standing, taking the stairs, and walking on different terrain?  How do they feel about the wearing comfort and handling?  Observational studies reveal this data with practical relevance. The collection of non-interventional studies using Bauerfeind supports and orthoses documents real treatment situations, and provides insights into how these products stand the test during everyday activities. The study results are summarized and discussed concisely on two to four pages. Diagrams and a conclusion highlight key points.
