BRACE APPLICATION
1. Unfasten all straps from the outer side of the brace.
2. With the knee bent approximately 90 degrees, place the brace over
your knee such that the patella is centered between the condyle pads
(Figure 2).
Note: This places the hinge slightly above the joint line so the brace
can properly seat itself when you stand (Figure 3).
3. Beginning with the strap just below the knee (lower cruciate strap),
fasten the strap snugly above the calf muscle to aid brace suspension
(Figure 4).
Note: All straps can be trimmed or adjusted to length.
4. Next, snugly fasten the bottom strap by inserting it through the slot
on the lower subshell.
5. Continue with the strap just above the knee (upper cruciate strap),
followed by the top strap. Snugly fasten both straps.
Note: Over-tightening the two top straps can cause the brace to
migrate.
6. Lastly, snugly fasten the anterior cruciate strap (Figure 5). If the brace
is too far anterior, loosen the anterior tibial strap and tighten the
lower and bottom straps. If the frame is too far posterior, loosen the
