2. Prepare Orthosis for Application
For Quantum A and Quantum A/PRO:
loosen the two front straps (fig. 2).
Place the orthosis onto the patient's
leg, with the knee bent at a 45° angle.
Position the joint of the orthosis as

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 2.5 cm above the patella, slightly
behind the midline of the leg. Push the
joints of the orthosis towards the back
until they are positioned at the center
of the knee, when looked at from the
side (fig. 3a).
