5.1 Selecting the Size

1. Measure the circumference of the patient's thigh 15 cm (6") above the center of the patella
and determine the orthosis size (see size table).
2. Determine the length of the orthosis based on the patient's body size (see size table).
Ottobock recommends the long version of the orthosis for a body size over 1.83 m (6 ft).

5.2 Fitting and Application

5.2.1 Adjusting the Range of Motion (Flexion / Extension)

INFORMATION
The joint stops (medial and lateral) must have the same degree settings.
Available extension stops (square grip):
Available flexion stops (round grip):
1) Remove the condyle pads from the pad retainers (see Fig. 5).
2) Remove the adjustment screws from the pad retainers (see Fig. 6).
3) Remove the pad retainers (see Fig. 1, item B) and the joint covers (see Fig. 1, item A); see
Fig. 7.
4) Insert the desired extension and flexion stops (see Fig. 8).
→ The stops will engage with slight resistance.
5) Insert the joint covers with the profile edge facing forwards.
6) Attach the pad retainers (see Fig. 7).
7) Insert the adjustment screws in the pad retainers and tighten them (see Fig. 6).
8) Attach the condyle pads to the pad retainers with hook-and-loop material (see Fig. 5).
9) Move the orthosis joints, and check the position of the stops.

5.2.2 Adaptation to the Knee Width

Spacer pads (thickness = 5 mm and 8 mm) are included in the scope of delivery. The spacer
pads can be mounted between the pad retainers (see Fig. 1, item B) and the condyle pads (see
Fig. 1, item C) using hook-and-loop fasteners (see Fig. 5). This adjustment can be carried out
independently on the medial and lateral joints.
