Donning/fitting instructions

Open all the straps and take the joint braces out of the pads.
Wrap the calf and thigh pads tightly around the leg and fasten at the front.
First attach the lateral (outside) brace to the pad. Make sure that the brace joint is level with the patella and the midline of the knee.
Now attach the medial (inside) brace in the same way. Make sure that the two joints are at the same level.
First fasten the upper thigh strap, then the lower thigh strap. Now fasten the other straps, starting with the bottom one and working upwards.
To take the orthosis off just open the straps and pads and pull the orthosis of backwards.

Adjusting the flexion and extension stops
To adjust the range of movement first turn the opening in the plastic to expose one of the pins. Now press and hold the red button, at the same time turn to set the desired degree figure. Repeat this for the second pin.
Extension limitation: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°

Setting the length
Bring the yellow slider into the 'open position'. Pull the orthesis to the desired length and close the lock mechanism again until you hear it snap into place. The medial and lateral lengths must always be equal.
