> The patient sits on the front edge of a chair and the knee is extended.
> All straps on the orthosis are opened.
1) Pass the orthosis around the knee from behind and apply it to the leg. Centre the patella
cutout over the patella.
2) Optional: For legs with a larger circumference, the side parts with straps and strap guide
loops can be positioned on the orthosis shaft.
3) Pass the straps through the strap guide loops. Close the straps first below and then above
the knee. Make sure that the hook-and-loop sections are placed over one another (see fig. 2).
4) Optional: Attach the narrow strap to the orthosis so it is centred and passes over the patella,
for example to secure an additional cooling element (see fig. 3).
→ The orthosis fits firmly but is still comfortable to wear (see fig. 4).
