TKS Knee Orthosis
Application of the
TKS Knee Orthosis
1. Open all hook and loop fastenings.
2. Guide the patient's foot through the
opening created by the orthosis' thigh
strap, lateral braces and calf strap.
3. Hold the knee in a natural, extended
position.
4. Position the thigh strap across the front
of the thigh, 1-2 cm above the patella.
To do so, use the hook-and-loop faste-
ner to adjust the length of the strap.
Once the strap has been adjusted, use
the snap fastener on the side to open
and close the strap. The hook-and-loop
fastener should not be opened for this.
5. Take care not to twist the orthosis.
The two braces on the inside and
on the outside of the leg should be
parallel to each other.
6. Close the thigh strap.
7. On the lower leg, move the aluminum
braces forward until the patient
can feel the calf strap touch the leg
below the knee.
8. Place the anatomically shaped pad
onto the front of the lower leg. The
cut-out should be positioned on the
tibial edge. Close the strap.
9. The two-hole-nuts fastening the alu-
minum straps to the aluminum braces
have to be secured with threadlocker
after fitting the orthosis.
