2.4. Attaching of the brace by the orthopaedic technician

2.4.1. Attaching the brace

1 

Preparation:

Adjust the length of the anterior brace straps. The straps do not have to be pulled out of their 
lugs. Release the posterior straps by opening the buckles.

2 

Attaching:

Bend your knee to an angle of approx. 30° 
to 45° and align the orthosis corresponding 
to picture 1 on your knee. Make sure to 
align the pivotal points of the orthosis 
hinges with the pivotal point of the knee.

Position: Mid patella, posterior third of the 
joint. By adjusting the anterior straps, this 
step is made easier when attaching the 
brace for the first time.

3 

Fixation:

When fastening the posterior straps, slightly 

tighten the anterior straps. The following 
sequence is recommended:

1. Upper calf strap
2. Upper tibia strap
3. Upper posterior thigh strap
4. Upper anterior thigh strap
5. Posterior thigh strap near hinge
6. Anterior thigh strap near hinge
7. Lower posterior calf strap
8. Lower anterior calf strap

To achieve optimal fit the two calf straps near the hinge must be fastened tightly. Their purpose 
is to ensure no migration by being positioned on the belly of the gastrocnemius (calf).

After fastening the single straps, check the correct position of the brace and if necessary, 
re-adjust it. Please take care, that the straps are not fastened too tightly, so that blood circulation 
is not affected.
