3. You can change the wedges by
removing the tweezers from the
joint cover and pulling the wedges
forwards (extension) or backwards
(flexion) out of the joint using the
tweezers. The wedges are accordingly
labelled with „FLEX" or „EXT" and
the corresponding degree. The
wedges may also be distinguished
by the colour. Extension wedges are
silver, flexion wedges are black. Push
the new wedge from the front side
(extension) or from the back (flexion)
into the joint, so the markings „UP" on
the joint and the wedge are matched
accordingly. Upon proper locking you
will hear a click sound.
4. Move the joints of the orthosis to
check the position of the wedges. Put
the tweezers back into the mounting
and attach the joint covers by hooking
the two noses of the joint cover into
the front side of the joint and then
pushing the cover onto the joint. The
cover is firmly attached if you hear a
click sound.
Important notes
Only change the extension and flexion
limits on instruction from your doctor
or orthotist. In order to prevent
hyperextension, always insert extension
wedges or 0° wedges. The wedges define
the exact excursion of the orthosis.
In difficult soft-tissue conditions,
e.g. where the soft-tissues are under
compression, it may be necessary to
insert the larger wedge to limit the joint
movement to the desired excursion. In
addition, make sure that the orthosis
joints are correctly positioned: the
middles of the joints should be level with
the upper border of the patella. The joint
must lie behind the midline of the leg.
Shaping the orthosis
When shaping the orthosis, please
ensure that the joints stay parallel.
This guarantees that the orthosis will
function well and run easily and that
there is no excessive wear.
