3. Insert lower shin strap #1 through the D ring and fasten tightly
(Figure 4).
4. Insert upper thigh strap #2 through the D ring and fasten (Figure 5).
5. Then fasten lower thigh strap #3. Tightening the lower thigh strap #3
will pull the hinges towards the back of the knee.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the two top straps as this can make the brace
move. (Figure 6).
6. Insert upper shin strap #4 through the D ring and tighten until the
hinges are aligned with the midline of the knee. Readjust strap #3 if
necessary (Figure 7).
7. Tightly fasten calf strap #5, while making sure it fits comfortably. After
fitting, the calf strap will only need to be readjusted to improve brace
comfort/ suspension (Figure 8).
8. When standing, the brace should fit the leg with no larger gaps. The
hinge should be aligned with the middle of the knee cap. Seen from
the side, the hinges are aligned with the knee midline (Figure 9).
Troubleshooting:
If the brace is too far in the front, loosen the upper shin strap #4, and
then tighten the calf strap #5 and lower thigh strap #3.
If the frame is too posterior, loosen the calf #5 and lower thigh #3 straps
and tighten the upper shin strap #4.
BRACE ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting Pad and Strap Length:
– For optimal fit and comfort, ensure the strap pads are centered on
the leg when tightening straps.
– If a strap pad is too long, remove the pad from the strap and use
scissors to shorten the pad.
– To adjust the length of a strap, detach the alligator clip at the end
of the strap.
– Adjust the length as necessary and reattach the alligator tab to the
strap.
Adjusting the Brace Contouring:
– The Rebound DUAL ST brace can be adjusted to individual
anatomies.
– Use bending irons to cold form the aircraft grade aluminum frame
to fit different thigh and calf shapes.
Widening or narrowing fit at knee joint:
– The Rebound DUAL ST brace can be adjusted to individual knee
widths.
– Adjust to knee width by removing the medium condyle pads and
replacing them with the thick or thin version
– Any combination of pads can be used to achieve a more
comfortable fit.
