The greatest level of load relief is
attained at level 9.

brace in advance and has established a
benchmark value with you. Depending
on your level of pain, you can adjust
the mechanism to fit your needs.

brace is sitting correctly on the leg. If
necessary, correct the position of the

quick-release clasps to ensure that no

Note for technicians:
• Set the load relief system (strap
system) so that the patient attains a
good level of pain relief. To do this, with
the brace in its starting position (slider
is set to position 1), pull the straps
tightly. Then set up the three-point
system. Level 7/8 is considered the
guideline starting level. The patient
can increase or reduce the level of
pressure. Excess strap can be trimmed
as necessary once final adjustment
has been made(Fig. 16)
• Allow the patient to wear the brace for
a few minutes to ensure that the straps
are providing an appropriate and
comfortable level of tension.
