Open Hook-and-Loop Closures
Open all four straps of the orthosis
and place the patient‘s leg inside the
orthosis. Make sure that, when viewed
from the side, the center of the hinge
is aligned with the center of the knee.
If necessary, adjust the orthosis again
before closing the hook-and-loop faste-
ners (fig.3).
We recommend closing the hook-and-loop
straps in the following order: Start with
the two straps above and below the knee.
Then close the proximal/distal strap of
the orthosis. Two additional straps are
included with each brace. These can be
used as proximal/distal straps in case you
shorten the orthosis by removing the
top and bottom end parts (see section 3:
“Adjusting the Length of the Orthosis“).
3. Adjusting the Length of
the Orthosis
Adjust the length of the telescopic up-
rights according to the patient‘s leg (fig. 4).
It is also possible to shorten the ortho-
sis on the whole, by removing the end
parts of the brace. To do so, push the
release button and completely pull off
the end part of the brace (fig. 5).
4. Closing the Orthosis
Now close the hook-and-loop fasteners.
Start with the fasteners directly above
and below the knee joint, then continue
with the rest of the closures. Depending
on the circumference of the patient’s leg,
the hook-and-loop straps may be too
long. If necessary, they can be shortened
with a pair of scissors.
5. Opening the Orthosis
From now on, use the hook-and-
loop fasteners to open the orthosis.
