Features
Targeted Control for Patellofemoral Problems
The Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 focuses on correcting and supporting kneecap movement. A shaped pad guides the patella into a more central track. Additional padding supports tendons and soft tissues around the outer knee. The elastic knit provides compression to help reduce swelling and improve joint awareness.
You manage stairs, squats, and sport with more comfort when you wear the Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3. The brace design discourages lateral drift of the kneecap. Breathable fibres keep the area cooler during longer periods of activity. This support suits people with patellofemoral pain, maltracking, or mild instability.

The GenuTrain P3 provides relief and support to a range of patella and kneecap problems.
The GenuTrain P3 combines Bauerfeinds gradient compression with a revolutionary, adjustable, muscle-relaxing patella pad for active support and stabilisation of the knee.
The special pad works to hold the kneecap securely in its natural position, and provides a massaging effect as you move to reduce inflammation and pain.
The P3 is ideal for pain caused by misalignment of the kneecap (patellar lateralisation), femoropatellar pain syndrome (anterior knee pain). Provides all day comfort.
Technology
- Muscle-relaxing pad – Reduces sideways pulling of the kneecap to further reduce pain and relax the muscles with soothing massage.
- Corrective guide – Stops your kneecap from drifting outward to relieve discomfort and help healing without loss of mobility.
- Patella cover – Counteracts the tilting of the patella
- Corrective strap – can be individually adjusted for optimal kneecap control
- Pad wing – Proximal extension as far as the vastus medialis muscle, improved proprioception
- Ring-shaped soft pad – Surrounds the kneecap to center it for stability.
- Wedge-shaped Hoffa soft pads – Two pressure points on the pad relieve strain on the area below the knee, which frequently causes pain.
