Application
Application and adjustment of the Quantum
Knee Orthoses are described below.
The images show the version Quantum-P
PRO posterior calf shell. Differing adjust-
ment steps for the P-version of the orthosis
will be described where necessary.
1. Open Straps
Before the patient steps into the brace,
open all straps by opening the hook-and-
loop closures, and, on straps with quick-
release buckles, by pushing the two blue
buttons on either side of the buckles.
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 posterior calf 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. 2).
The included additional joint pads
allow for the optimum adjustment of
the Quantum to the patient‘s indivi-
dual leg axis (fig. 3b).
