Step 3

[ 4 ]

Place your leg in the pre-set and adapted BORT ROM knee brace, adaptions/re-adjustments must be

made by expert staff.

Ensure correct positioning and even surface contact. The joints should be positioned on the side of the

knee joint at the height of the centre of the patella (middle of the kneecap).

Step 4

[ 4 ]

Firstly, close the wide fastener beneath the knee joint in order to fix the brace on the leg.

Step 5

[ 5 ]

Close the fasteners in the following order, always starting from the centre of the knee:

1. Fastener close to the knee on the lower leg (#1)

2. Fastener close to the knee on the thigh (#2)

3. Fastener away from the knee on the lower leg (#3)

4. Fastener away from the knee on the thigh (#4)

Whilst tightening the fastener, smoothen it in the tension direction with your free hand. This avoids twisting

the brace on the leg.

Information: should you incur pressure sores, pain or other problems whilst wearing the brace, remove it

and contact your technician

Allow yourself time to become accustomed to the brace and increase the wearing time gradually.

If you have questions regarding the use and wearing time, please refer to your physician or technician.

Removal

To remove the aid, open the harnesses and then take the brace off the leg. Close all the Velcro fasteners in

order to avoid damaging other items, e.g. to further clothing.

Information for the technician

Important note: The brace may only be adapted by expert staff.
