KOA Knee Brace
1.
Carefully cut off the attached plastic bag with the extension and flexion parts inside
and set off to the side. Open all the buckles and extend all the fastener straps, two
above the knee hinge and two below the knee hinge. Remove the snaps to the
buckles from each of the straps, and lock them into the corresponding buckle.
Make sure you hear a snapping sound and give each a small tug to make sure they
are locked into place.
2.
While sitting in a chair with your leg straight, position the knee brace on your leg so
that the hinge is centered to your knee. Starting with the top strap and moving
down, bring the strap under your leg and thread it through the rectangular slot at
the end of the buckle. Next, pull the strap back the way you came, going under
your leg if needed and fasten the strap in place against itself. Do this for each of
the straps
(2)
. At this point, you want to make sure the brace is hinge-centered to
your knee cap, you will tighten the straps later on.
5.
Hinge Adjustment: using the included Allen Wrench, loosen both screws on the
hinge cover. Place the paired hinge stops provided. Place one part of the pair on
each side of the hinge, to restrict the range of motion of the hinge bend.
4.
Once your knee brace is properly aligned to your knee cap, stand up and with a
slight bend to your knee, tighten all the straps in place so that you can be assured
that the brace will not slide up or down or rotate on your leg.
3.
From time to time, the strap will seem too long. Remove the strap from the buckle
and slide your fingers to the other end of the strap. Open the fastener section and
shorten the length of the strap by pulling more of it through the plastic slot in the
braces outer shell
(3)
. Lock the fastener in place and smooth out the remainder of
the strap. Repeat step 2.
