Retrofitting the 29K338 strap set
1) Remove the thigh and lower leg straps from the orthosis (see fig. 13, see
fig. 14).
2) Flex the joint bars in the joint and pull them out of the lateral guides of
the orthosis (see fig. 15).
3) Slide the slotted strap holder over the joint bar from above, placing the
hook-and-loop closure over the adjustment mechanism of the thigh bar
so the hook-and-loop closure faces anterior (see fig. 16).
4) Side the unslotted second strap holder over the joint bar from below.
5) Flex the joint bars in the joint and insert them into the lateral guides,
observing the installation direction (see fig. 17).
6) Turn the orthosis over from the lateral side to the medial side.
7) Fasten the strap risers to the medial pads of the orthosis using hook-
and-loop (see fig. 18).
INFORMATION: The shorter end of the hook-
and-loop closure is on the pad for the strap riser on the thigh, and
the long end is on the pad for the strap riser on the lower leg.
8) Turn the orthosis over from the medial side to the lateral side.
9) Fasten the slotted thigh strap and the lower leg strap to the strap holders
on the joint bars, close to the knee. The slot in the thigh strap lines up
with the slot in the strap holder (see fig. 19). The strap guide loops are
positioned facing anterior.
10) Turn the orthosis over from the lateral side to the medial side and attach
the thigh and lower leg straps to the medial strap risers (see fig. 20).
11) Open the orthosis on the larger side and fasten the thigh pad with hook-
and-loop from the centre of the inside to the inner joint bar cover,
approx.
10 mm
below the upper edge of the orthosis (see fig. 21).
12) Fasten the lower leg pad so it is centred on the inner joint bar cover,
approx. 10 mm below the lower edge of the orthosis (see fig. 22).
