Application
Application and adjustment of the
Quantum Knee Orthoses are described
below. The images show the version
Quantum A with the anterior tibia shell.
Differing adjustment steps for the
PRO-version of the orthosis will be
described where necessary.
1. Open Straps
Open all four straps on the back of
the orthosis (fig. 1). To do so, simul-
taneously push the two blue buttons
on the quick- release buckles, then
lift the buckles off of the orthosis.
Open Straps (Version Quantum A)
Open all four straps on the back of
the orthosis. To do so, open the hook-
and-loop closures and pull one end of
the straps out of the strap loop.
2. Prepare Orthosis for Application
Place the orthosis onto the patient‘s
leg, with the knee bent at a 45° angle.
Position the joint of the orthosis as
shown in the image above. Check the
position of the anterior thigh shell and
the bottom tibia shell. The orthosis
should be in full contact with the leg,
and fit tightly without being too tight.
3. Position Joints of Orthosis
The joints of the orthosis should be
positioned so the center of the joint
sits 2.5 cm above the patella, slightly
behind the midline of the leg. Push
the joints of the orthosis towards the
back until they are positioned at the
center of the knee, when looked at
from the side (fig. 3a).
Additional joint pads allow an excellent
positioning of the Quantum to the indi-
vidual knee joint line alignment (fig. 3b).
