2. Measure the circumference of the thigh (circumference B)
15 cm above the center of the
patella.
3. Determine the size of the brace (see size chart).
5.2 Fitting and Application
5.2.1 Adjusting the Range of Motion (Flexion/Extension)
INFORMATION
The joint stops (medial and lateral) must have identical degree settings.
Available extension stops (square grip): 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
Available flexion stops (round grip): 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°
1) Remove the pad retainer (and the spacer rings if applicable) (see fig. 4).
2) Insert the desired extension and flexion stops into the joint (see fig. 5).

2) Snap the required number of spacer rings onto the joint (see fig. 6).
3) Attach the pad retainer on the spacer rings.
5.2.3 Adjusting the strap height
The height of the front/rear top strap for the lower leg can be adjusted for knee joint relief in case
of post-operative therapy and/or to adapt the position of the straps to the anatomical shape of the
leg.
1) Remove the clip rivet from the front/rear, top strap for the lower leg.
2) Move the strap.
3) Attach the strap with a new clip rivet.
