Össur Post-Op Knee 24 Notice D'utilisation page 6

Setting Range of Motion
Adjust the ROM as follows (Figure 7):
Extension: Pull the black extension button up and set the angle. Extension
can be limited at: -10°, 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°.
Flexion: Pull the white flexion button up and set the angle. Flexion can be
limited at: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°.
Release a button to let it click into place. Put the stop locks onto the
buttons to secure them (Figure 7).
Immobilizing the Knee
Use the drop lock to fully immobilize the knee. It can be set at -10°, 0°,
10°, 20°, 30° of flexion. An arrow shows the angle. The angle is shown by
the scale on the strut, below the hinge.
Adjust immobilization as follows (Figure 8):
1. Push the blue drop-lock button up to unlock the hinge.
2. Move the brace until the arrow and the correct angle agree.
3. Push the blue drop-lock button down to lock the hinge angle.
Doffing the Brace
1. Unfasten the straps and the foam pads.
2. Remove the brace (Figure 9a, 9b). You can put it back on again fully
assembled.
SHORTENING THE BRACE
If necessary, the 24" and 28" braces can be shortened to 16".
A shortening kit is included for Cool Foam versions (Figure 2). Note:
Plastic End Caps are not part of the Cool Foam shortening kit; they are
only part of the Full Foam shortening kit.
WARNING: Only shorten the brace if ordered by the treating doctor.
Shortening the brace reduces the function of the brace.
Shorten the struts as follows:
1. Remove the brace from the patient.
2. Fully remove the straps and foam pads from the struts.
3. Put a strut on a table.
4. Align a seam with the edge of the table.
5. Hold the strut tight and break off at the seam (Figure 10).
6. Repeat for the other end.
Cool Foam
1. Put the double D-rings from the kit onto each shortened end of the
struts. Make sure the double D-rings are on the outer side (Figure 11a).
2. Attach the hook and loop fastener onto the strut over the rivet hole
(Figure 11b).
3. Put the plastic rivet through the hole and the double D-ring from the
inside of the strut (Figure 11c).
4. Assemble the brace again (refer to "Donning the Brace" above).
Full Foam
1. Make sure the edges are smooth and apply the plastic end caps
(Figure 12). If necessary, use a file to round the edges of the strut.
2. If necessary, use scissors to trim the foam pads.
3. Assemble the brace again (refer to "Donning the Brace" above).
