4. Position Calf Strap
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 ascen­
ding order. Start with straps 1 to 6.
First, lightly fasten the bottom front
strap (No.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. To adjust the
lenght of the straps they can be
shortened with hook­and­loop
fasteners on the opposite side.

5. Adjust and Fasten Posterior
Thigh Straps
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). Please make sure not to close
the orthosis too tighly so the straps do
not disrupt the blood flow.

6. Adjust Anterior Tibia Strap and
Thigh Straps
The anterior tibia strap (No. 1) helps
to position the tibia in a way that
prevents subluxation (drawer effect).
Readjust the two straps (No. 1 and No.
2), and close them so they lie modera­
tely tight against the patient's leg (fig.
5). Make sure not to fasten these straps
too tightly, since this might disrupt the
blood flow.
