Directions for putting on the orthosis:
Before you put it on:
• Please open the calf strap and loosen the patella traction system first.
• To avoid damage to the knit fabric, please make sure that the Velcro
®
straps are always
fastened to the provided Velcro
®
pads when putting it on and taking it off.
Putting on the orthosis:
• Grasp the orthosis at the top. To make it easier to put it on, grasp the interior donning
loops with your index fingers.
• Turn the orthosis by approximately 90°. Then step into the orthosis with your foot
extended and pull it up over your leg.
• Please make sure that the patella pad is placed correctly around the patella (= kneecap).
• Then close the calf strap. To avoid constriction, please make sure that the strap is not
pulled too tightly. Loosen it if required.
• To adjust the patella traction system individually, simply undo the Velcro
®
fastening on
the inside of the leg, pull it upwards along your body with slight tension - until the required
pressure is reached - and then re-fasten it to the Velcro
®
pad.
