7. Adjusting the Length of the Straps
The length of all straps can also be
adjusted on the opposite end of the
strap. To do so, open the hook­and­loop
closure and adjust the strap as desired.
Re­check the fit of the orthosis and
of all of the straps. Ask the patient to
get up and walk a few steps with the
orthosis. Check if the orthosis might be
too loose, and, if so, check the fit of the
orthosis again and also adjust the length
of the straps again, if necessary.
8. Adjust Flexion and
Extension Limitation
The joints of the orthosis are equipped
with threaded flexion/extension limita­
tion pins. Flexion can be limited to 0°,
10°, 30°, 40°, 60°, 75°, 90°. Extension
can be limited to 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°.
Please follow the doctor's orders
concerning the limitation or the
increase of the range of motion.
Screw the pin for the flexion limitation
into the hole marked with the desired
flexion angle (1Nm) (fig. 6). Then screw
the pin for the extension limitation into
the hole marked with the desired maxi­
mum extension angle (1Nm).

Repeat these steps on the opposite side
of the joint. Always make sure to set the
same limitations on both sides.
Information Regarding
Version Quantum A/PRO
On this version of the brace there is
an additional cover on the joint, so no
clothes will get caught in the hinge. The
cover is designed in a way that makes it
possible to adjust flexion and exten sion
without removing it (fig. 7).
