3.2. Fitting the brace

3.2.1. Deactivating spring tension

1.

Before fitting the brace, you must deactivate spring tension. First, set the
levers of both hinges to the „off“ position.

2.

To deactivate spring tension you must push the lower leg shell to posterior. To
do so, grasp under the hinge bar with your hands and position your thumbs
on the pressure blocks attached to the lower leg shell.

3.

Using your thumbs on the pressure blocks, push the shell to posterior. The
spring force is now deactivated.

4.

Open the buckles of the straps (on upper and lower shells)

Due to the user-friendly buckle system it is not necessary to open the hook
and loop fasteners when fitting and removing the brace. To fit the brace,
simply undo the buckles and open the anterior straps of the brace.
