the center of your knee joint. Check the
position of the anterior thigh shell and the
bottom tibia shell. The orthosis should be
in full contact with the leg, and fit tightly
without being too tight.

3. Position Joints of Orthosis
The joints of the orthosis should
be positioned so the center of the
joint sits at the height of the patella,
slightly behind the midline of the leg
(fig. 3a).

Additional joint pads allow an excellent
positioning of the Quantum to the indi-
vidual knee joint line alignment (fig. 3b).

5. Adjust and Fasten Posterior
Thigh Straps
All straps are marked with stickers which
have numbers on them. The straps of the
orthosis should be closed according to
the numbers on the stickers, in ascending
order, from strap 1 to strap 6.
Quantum A/A-PRO First, lightly fasten
the bottom front strap (Nol. 1), then the
top front strap (No. 2). Then position
the top posterior strap (No. 3) above the
highest point of the calf muscle. This
helps prevent the orthosis from shifting
out of place. Close the thigh straps (No.
4 and No. 5) and the bottom calf strap
(No. 6), so the orthosis securely fits the
patient's leg (fig. 4).
Quantum P/P-PRO: First close the bot-
tom anterior lower leg strap (No. 1), then
the top posterior thigh strap (No. 2).
Then close the posterior bottom thigh
strap (No. 3). Next, close the top anterior
lower leg strap (No. 4), and then the top
posterior lower leg strap (No. 5). Finally,
close the anterior thigh strap (No. 6).
Please make sure not to close the
orthosis too tighly so the straps do not
disrupt the blood flow.
