Fasten strap # 1 (fig. P).
Fasten strap # 2 (fig. Q).

Note: The joints are positioned behind the bent knee because, when each strap is

Fasten straps # 3 through # 5, in order (fig. S).
Stand up and fasten strap # 6 (fig. T).
Walk around bending the knee a few times.
Make sure the condylar pads fit tightly around the joint, and that the hard
