Setting-Up A Kneehab Treatment
Step 1 - Charge the battery
Connect the Unit to the charger (Fig. a) and plug the charger into a main’s supply socket. To remove
the Unit from the charger press the buttons on each side of the unit connector and pull apart.
You will know the battery pack is on charge when the unit display shows a battery symbol with 3
bars that turn on and off. It will take approximately 2-3 hours to fully charge. The battery pack is
fully charged when the battery symbol and its 3 bars remain on.
Notes:
•
Do not leave your unit connected to the charger when the battery is fully charged.
•
Do not leave your charger connected to mains supply when not in use.
Step 2 – Correct garment confirmation
Important:
The correct garment MUST be used for the leg being treated. L is printed on the garment designed
specifically for the left leg. The printed figure of a human also shows the garment positioned on the
left leg (Fig. b). R is printed on the garment designed specifically for the right leg. The printed figure of
a human also shows the garment positioned on the right leg (Fig. c).
Please check now to ensure you have the correct garment for the leg to be treated. If the garment you
have is not for the correct leg, please contact your prescribing clinician or the
neurotech
®
office.
Step 3 – Initial garment fitting
•
Sit down with your leg as straight as possible. For the best fit and most effective treatment it is
important to have your leg as straight as possible during garment fitting.
•
Place the garment on you leg so that the light blue binding lies just above the kneecap (approx.
0.5cm/ .25”) and the printed Median Line lies along the centre of your thigh (Fig. d).
•
Fasten both pairs of straps (Fig. e). For the best fit, fasten the pair of straps closest to the Kneecap
first. When the straps are fastened the garment should have a comfortable yet firm fit.
