Fasten strap # 1 (fig. B).

Fasten strap # 2.

Note: The joints are positioned behind the bent knee because, when each strap
is fastened, they move forward, until the brace is correctly positioned on the leg.
6
Fasten straps # 3 through # 5, in order. Stand up and fasten strap # 6 (fig. D).
7
Walk around bending the knee a few times.
8
Make sure the condylar pads fit tightly around the joint, and that the hard
thigh- and leg-grips fit tightly around the muscles without causing
excessive pressure (fig. E–F).
