5.2.2 Adaptation to the Knee Width
Spacer pads (thickness = 5 mm and 8 mm) are included in the scope of delivery. The spacer
pads can be mounted between the pad retainers (see fig. 1, item B) and the condyle pads (see

> All straps are opened.
> The patient is sitting on the front edge of a chair. The knee is angled at 45°.
1) Position the orthosis with the middles of the joints approximately even with the top of the patel­
la (see fig. 9).
→ Although the orthosis starts out being a little too high, it will quickly settle into the correct
position.
2) Fasten the lower front strap for the lower leg (see fig. 10).
3) Fasten the upper rear thigh strap (see fig. 11).
4) Keep the knee bent, and push the two joints towards the back of the leg (see fig. 12).
5) Fasten the lower thigh strap (see fig. 13). Pull the joints forward slightly, and position them so
they are centered relative to the knee joint. Ensure that the joints are not pulled ahead of the
lateral center line of the leg (see fig. 14).
6) Fasten the upper front strap for the lower leg (see fig. 15).
7) Fasten the rear strap for the lower leg (see fig. 16).
8) Tighten the orthosis straps so that the orthosis fits firmly but is comfortable to wear.
9) After 15 min of active movement (e.g. slight knee bends): slightly retighten the straps in the
specified sequence (see fig. 2, straps 1-5).
