BRACE APPLICATION
1. Unfasten all straps from the outer side of the brace.
2. With the knee bent in approximately 90 degrees, place the brace
over your knee such that the patella is centered between the
condyle pads (Figure 2).
note: This places the hinge slightly above the joint line so the
brace can properly seat itself when you stand (Figure 3).
3. Beginning with the strap just below the knee (lower cruciate
strap), fasten the strap snugly above the calf muscle as this will
aid in the brace suspension (Figure 4).
note: All straps can be trimmed or adjusted to length.
4. Next, snugly fasten the bottom strap by inserting it through the
slot on the lower subshell.
5. Continue with the strap just above the knee (upper cruciate
strap), followed by the top strap. Snugly fasten both straps.
note: Over-tightening the two top straps can cause the brace
to migrate.
6. Last, snugly fasten the anterior cruciate strap (Figure 5). If the
brace is too far anterior, loosen the anterior tibial strap and
tighten the lower and bottom straps. If the frame is too far
posterior, loosen the lower and bottom straps AND tighten the
