SETTING-UP A TREA
TMENT
Step 4 – Sizing determination
With the garment still fastened to your leg, sit upright with your knee bent at 90° (Fig.f).
To determine length sizes:
•
If the whole garment lies flat along the length of your thigh (Fig. f), you are a Tall fit and must place
the large rectangular electrode within the area marked ‘
A
’.
•
If you have to fold down the top of the garment at the groin (Fig. g), you are a Small fit and must
place the large rectangular electrode within the area marked ‘
a
’.
To determine width sizes:
There is a line printed on the garment near one end of the straps (Fig. h) to help you determine
whether you are a wide or a narrow fit. If you have difficulty seeing this line, there is also a gap in the
fastening material to help you (Fig. h).
•
If the strap does not overlap the printed line, or if you can still feel the gap, you are a Wide fit and
must place the L-shaped electrode within the area marked ‘
B
’.
•
If the strap does overlap the printed line, or if you cannot feel the gap, you are a Narrow fit and
must place the L-shaped electrode within the area marked ‘
b
’.
Step 5 – Adhesive Electrode Placement
•
Remove the garment from your thigh and place it on a flat surface with the white electrode placement
guides facing you.
•
Kneehab XP
TM
is supplied with a pack of four electrodes. Remove these from their plastic bag.
•
Remove the liners from the
patterned
side of the electrodes (Fig. i). Keep these liners for later.
•
Stick the electrodes onto the garment within their respective printed outlines.
•
Do not remove the liners from the
black
sides of the electrodes yet.
Important:
•
Place the largest electrode within outline “
A
” or “
a
” depending on your sizing, determined in Step 4.
•
Place the L-shaped electrode within outline “
B
” or “
b
” depending on your sizing, determined in Step
4.
•
The remaining two electrodes should be placed within their respective matching outlines (Fig. j).
•
Ensure that all electrodes lie perfectly within the electrode placement guides on the garment.
•
Ensure the metal studs are completely covered by all of the electrodes.
•
Press the edges of each electrode firmly onto the garment to ensure good adhesion.
•
Replacement electrodes are available from your local
