Widening or narrowing fit at knee joint:
The 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.
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.
Replacing and Reconfiguring D rings:
D rings are field-serviceable. D rings can be moved from the interior to
the exterior or replaced if broken.
To move a D ring from the interior to the exterior:
1. Remove strap from D ring.
2. Bend D ring mounted on the brace interior and push it inwards to
release from the keyhole lock. Remove from the rivet (Figure 10).
3. Attach D ring to the brace exterior by pushing down onto rivet
through the keyhole lock. Slide and click D ring into place. Place
keyhole lock with indented side facing up (Figure 11).
4. Replace strap. If needed, repeat steps for other D rings.
Adjusting the Varus / Valgus angle of the Brace (Acculign version only):
The brace can be adjusted for individual varus or valgus angles and to
create an offloading force to either the medial or lateral compartment.
– To adjust the angle, loosen the screws on the desired side of the
brace and slide the upper frame to the desired position with
a steady force.
– Adjust the medial upper frame to offload the medial compartment
or adjust the lateral upper frame to offload the lateral
compartment. The slide bar has a lettered scale and may be
moved to increase or decrease the amount of varus or valgus
force on the leg. (Figure 14). The lettered scale does not relate to
degrees of offloading and should be used as a guide.
– Retighten the screws until snug (recommended torque value of
3 in-lb).
– All adjustments should be determined by a healthcare provider, in
accordance with the patient's comfort level. Each time the brace is
adjusted, the healthcare provider should note the letter for
a record of progression.
Adjusting the Height of the Brace (Acculign version only):
– The brace can be adjusted for individual height requirements.
– The brace height can be adjusted by loosening the screws on both
sides of the upper frame and pulling the frame up with a steady
force. Ensure the brace is properly aligned by checking that both
hinge arms are located on the same position on the medial and
lateral hinge arm.
– Retighten the screws until snug.
Range of Motion adjustment (ROM) (optional accessory, not included):
The brace has 0° extension stops attached to the hinges. If needed, range
of motion can be adjusted using the extension and flexion stop kits.
