Koena: Improved knee support for athletes
Knee injuries account for over 50% of all sports related injuries. The current bracing and support system causes further discomfort in patients, and there is a lack of patient compliance due to difficulty in performing the required physical therapy. Koena is an improved solution for bracing and support of knee injuries. It is a functional brace that has been designed to assist athletes in proprioceptive rehabilitative therapy by recording and storing data during motion for a comprehensive physical therapy routine tailored to each individual and creating augmented feedback for the user. The product also acts as a tool for assisting in pain management and reducing the occurrence of bruising, atrophy, and muscle spasms through a series of stimulation techniques.
