Close the fasteners in the following order, always starting from the
middle of the knee:
1. Support sheath fastener close to the knee on the lower leg
2. Support sheath fastener close to the knee on the thigh
3. Support sheath fastener away from the knee on the lower leg
4. Support sheath fastener away from the knee on the thigh
5. Circumferential harness away from the knee on the lower leg

be readjusted.
