make the fit more snug. Any combination of pads can be used to achieve
a more comfortable fit.
Adjusting fit at the tibial horseshoe:
Tibial wedge pads can be installed to fill in any gaps around the tibia
(figure. 5) and achieve the desired fit. To add a wedge pad, pull back the
silicone liner and place the proper wedge pad (medial or lateral) on top
of the hook-and-loop fastener to which the silicone liner was originally
fastened (figure. 6). Press the silicone liner back into place on top of the
wedge pad. Fine tune the padding until your CTi brace fits snugly against
the tibia (figure. 7).
cHaNGING ExtENSIoN StopS
Extension stops are available for varying degrees of extension control.
1. Remove the cover and pad from the condylar area.
2. Using a short Philips head screwdriver, remove the screw in the
center of the hinge plate (figure. 8).
3. Locate the extension stop positioned in the hinge between the up-
per and lower arms of the brace. With brace slightly bent, push the
extension stop from the back of the brace through to the front. This
should cause the stop to pop out of the hinge (figure. 9).
4. From the bag of extension stops included with the brace, choose the
stop which corresponds to the desired degree of extension. Feed the
hole end of the stop through the hinge from the front to the back of
the brace, with the curved side facing down and the flat edge facing
up. Make sure that the sharp extrusions on the flat end of the exten-
sion stop are pointed toward the distal portion (bottom half) of the
brace (figure. 9). The flat end of the stop should be visible from the
front of the brace.
5. Align the hole in the center of the hinge plate with the hole in the ex-
tension stop. Replace and tighten the screw through the hinge plate
and extension stop. Replace the pad and cover. This procedure must
be completed on both the medial and lateral hinges.
6. Choose the appropriate extension stop (Blue = 0°, Black = 0-10°,
Dark Gray = 10-20°, Medium Gray = 20-30°, Light Gray = 30- 40°)*
* These numbers are approximate. Actual extension stop will vary from
person to person depending on anatomical differences. Appropriate
extension stop size is normally determined by health care provider.
