The Proof: WaveWear vs. Standard Compression
The results speak for themselves. In a 10-day clinical trial, WaveWear users saw a dramatic 8.3-point improvement on the LEFS mobility scale.
Standard compression sleeves? Only 0.8 points.
A Clinically Meaningful Improvement
WaveWear's 8.3-point gain is close to the 9-point threshold considered a 'Minimally Clinically Important Difference' (MCID). The 0.8-point gain from the standard brace is statistically insignificant.
Lower Extremity Function Scores (18 Participants)
About The Study
This study was conducted by researchers at Kyung Hee University. It evaluated 18 participants (average age 70 $\pm$ 4.5 years) wearing either the WaveWear AlignX™ Knee Sleeve (K2) or a standard knee brace during their daily life over a 10-day period. Mobility was measured using the 80-point Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), where a higher score equals better mobility.
What This Means For You: A Difference You Can Feel
Bullet Point 1
The 8.3-point gain is "close to the threshold of clinically meaningful change." This means users are likely to feel noticeable, real-world improvements in daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and getting up from a chair.
Bullet Point 2
Standard sleeves showed almost no improvement. WaveWear achieved meaningful gains even though the standard brace group started with a higher baseline score.
Bullet Point 3
The powerful improvement trend suggests that continued use of WaveWear may lead to even further mobility gains over a longer period.
