2. Open Hook-and-Loop Closures
3
Open all four straps of the orthosis and
place the patient's leg inside the orthosis.
Make sure that, when viewed from the
side, the center of the hinge is aligned
with the center of the knee. If necessary,
adjust the orthosis again before closing
the hook-and-loop fasteners (fig.3).
We recommend closing the hook-and-
loop straps in the following order: Start
with the two straps above and below the
knee. Then close the proximal/distal strap
of the orthosis. Two additional straps are
included with each brace. These can be
used as proximal/distal straps in case you
shorten the orthosis by removing the
top and bottom end parts (see section 3:
"Adjusting the Length of the Orthosis").
3. Adjusting the Length of
the Orthosis
4
Post-OP evolution
Adjust the length of the telescopic
uprights according to the patient's
leg (fig. 4).

It is also possible to shorten the ortho-
sis on the whole, by removing the end
parts of the brace. To do so, push the
release button and completely pull off
the end part of the brace (fig. 5).
4. Closing the Orthosis
Now close the hook-and-loop
fasteners. Start with the fasteners
directly above and below the knee
joint, then continue with the rest
of the closures. Depending on the
circumference of the patient's leg,
the hook-and-loop straps may be
too long. If necessary, they can be
shortened with a pair of scissors. With
the additional „Q-lock" system the
appropriate range of motion can be
secured twofold.
5. Opening the Orthosis
From now on, only open the hook-and-
loop fasteners to open the orthosis.
