APPLICATION

Note! For best results:

When contouring hinge arms, remove hinges from softgood and bend hinge arms as desired. Re-apply hinges to softgood before application ensuring the hinge arms are completely seated within the hinge pockets and the hinge condyle is secured to the softgood.
Adjust patella buttress as necessary before application. It can be trimmed or removed as appropriate.

APPLICATION OF BRACE:

Sleeve version: Using the pull-tabs, pull softgood up over the knee so that the patella opening is centered over the patella (Figure 2).
Wrap-around version: Open the softgood and place behind the knee (Figure 3a). Wrap the softgood around the leg (lower portion first) and fasten firmly with the contact closures (Figure 3b). The patella opening should be centered over the patella.

FASTEN STRAPS

Unroll each strap and fasten in the order shown. The order is the same for both sleeve and wrap-around versions (Figure 4):

Strap 1 & 2 Note: The yellow strap tab allows the strap tension behind the leg to adjust to size when fitting.
Strap 3 Note (long version only): With the knee in slight flexion, press the hinges slightly posterior. When tightening, ensure the strap is first drawn around the back of leg with moderate tension and press down on the contact fastener. Continue wrapping the strap through the corresponding d-ring. Draw the strap snug and press down the contact fastener.
Straps 4 & 5 Note (long version only): Individually tighten straps 4 and 5 to fix the hinge position mid-line on the leg. Strap length can be adjusted from both ends of the strap (Figure 5).
Remove yellow strap tab: Once all straps are adjusted and fastened as desired, remove the yellow strap tab behind strap 2 to secure.

PATELLA CONTROL
Patella buttresses are located within the patella opening of the knee brace. Remove buttress from inside of the brace and attach in desired position.

RANGE OF MOTION ADJUSTMENT (ROM)

Adjustment should be performed by a health care professional. The brace comes with 10° extension stops attached to the hinges. If needed, ROM control can be adjusted using the Extension and Flexion stops included with the brace. Extension stops are labeled 0°, 5°, 10°, 20°, 30° and 40°. Flexion stops are labeled 0°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°.

ADJUSTING THE ROM:

Remove extension stop retaining screws. Using a screwdriver or pen, slide the 10° stop out of the hinge on both sides (Figure 6a).
Re-apply the desired extension stop and gently secure it with the retaining screw (do not over tighten) (Figure 6b).
Follow the same procedure for the addition of a flexion stop.
