Note: All straps can be trimmed or adjusted to length. Remember, straps
should not restrict circulation or cause cramping during use.
RE-TENSIONING DYNAMIC TENSIONING SYSTEM
1. Remove brace from leg if patient is still wearing the brace.
2. Unfasten the DTS system from the AMS wrap.
3. Flip the DTS system so the underside is exposed.
4. Insert a pen into the hole in the pawl and apply outward force in the
direction of the arrow to disengage the pawl from the spool. While
holding the pawl in the disengaged position, pull the cable out of the
DTS, (this will unwind the cable and cause the spool to spin in the
counter clockwise direction) until the DTS slides freely on the cable
(Figure 9) .
5. Center the DTS by pulling the DTS away from the brace and centering
it between the uprights, (ensure that the cable is equal length on each
side of the DTS)
(Figure 10) .
6. Place the desired shear knob into the diamond shaped hole on the
spool and slowly turn the shear knob in the clockwise direction
approximately a half turn to lock the DTS onto cable.
7. Flip the DTS back over and re-affix in its original position on the
AMS wrap.
Note: The cables should be loose but of equal length on each side of
the DTS.
8. Repeat steps 1–12 in the “Initial Brace Application” instructions to
re-tension the DTS.
RANGE OF MOTION ADJUSTMENT (ROM)
Adjustment should be performed by a health care professional. The brace
comes with 0° extension stops and 105° flexion stops attached to the
hinges. If needed, ROM control can be adjusted using the extension and
flexion stops included with the brace. Extension stops are labeled
0°,5°,10°,20°,30°, and 40°. Flexion stops are 0°,15°,25°,35°,45°,55°,65°,75°,9
0° and 105°.
ADJUSTING THE ROM
1. Remove the condyle pads from the medial and lateral hinges. Remove
retaining screws. Using a screwdriver or pen, slide the 0° stop out of
the hinge on both sides.
2. Re-apply the desired extension stop and gently secure it with the
retaining screw (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
3. Follow the same procedure to change the flexion stop.
CONDYLE PAD ADJUSTMENT
Attached to the hinges are the standard size pads. Pairs of thicker and
thinner pads are included. The pads should lightly touch the medial and
lateral condyles of the knee.
BRACE MAINTENANCE
The brace is designed for minimum maintenance and care. Follow these
easy maintenance steps to keep the brace in good condition.
