lateral) on top of the hook-and-loop fastener to which the silicone
liner was originally fastened (Figure 13). Press the silicone liner back
into place on top of the wedge pad. Fine tune the padding until your
CTi OTS brace fits snugly against the tibia (Figure 14).
CHANGING EXTENSION STOPS
Extension stops are available for varying degrees of
extension control.
1. Remove the pad from the condylar area.
2. Using a short Philips head screwdriver, remove the screw in the
center of the hinge plate (Figure 15).
3. Locate the extension stop positioned in the hinge between the
upper and lower arms of the brace. With brace slightly bent,
push the extension stop from the back of the brace through to
the front. This should cause the stop to pop out of the hinge
(Figure 16).
4. From the bag of extension stops included with the brace, choose
the stop which corresponds to the desired degree of extension.
Feed the hole end of the stop through the hinge from the front to
the back of the brace, with the curved side facing down and the
flat edge facing up. Make sure that the sharp extrusions on the
flat end of the extension stop are pointed toward the distal
portion (bottom half) of the brace (Figure 16). The flat end of the
stop should be visible from the front of the brace.
5. Align the hole in the center of the hinge plate with the hole in the
extension stop. Replace and tighten the screw through the hinge
plate and extension stop. Replace the pad. This procedure must
be completed on both the medial and lateral hinges.
6. Choose the appropriate extension stop (Blue = 0°, Black = 0–10°,
Dark Gray = 10–20°, Medium Gray = 20–30°, Light Gray
= 30–40°)*
*These numbers are approximate. Actual extension stop will vary
from person to person depending on anatomical differences.
Appropriate extension stop size is normally determined by health
care provider.
