pull the brace up the affected leg and flex your
knee to 45°. Position the joints so that the
centres of the hinges (extension wedges) are
on a level with the top edge of the kneecap.

your leg.

your knee in a flexed position and push both
joints towards the back of the leg.

Make sure that you do not have the hinge joints
positioned in front of the midline of the leg.

Then the upper back calf strap (#5), and finally
the front thigh strap (#6).
