Explanation of the proprioceptive effect:
Orthoses in the GO range have been developed to improve the therapeutic effect -
and, in particular, proprioception - on the joint. To achieve this, they activate special
skin receptors on the joint and improve the latter's muscle support, thanks to
innovative padding and an optimised compression effect.
