FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR'S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to
prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each
patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent
in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that
the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
A-Ankle Supports: A / A1.
How do you fit the plates?
External malleolus plate: Carries an identification on the front that should be placed according to
whether the right foot or the left foot is being treated. It should be placed on the external part of
the ankle support inserting it into its corresponding pocket.
Internal malleolus plate: Carries an identification on the front that should be placed according to
whether the right foot or the left foot is being treated, place on the medial side of the ankle sup-
port, inserting it into its corresponding pocket.

1- Knee support with lateral springs.
2- Knee support with polycentric/ monocentric joint.
3- Knee support with flexo-extension.
The joints should remain parallel to each other, the mechanical shaft should exactly meet the
anatomical shaft. In order to regulate the range of mobility of flexo-extension, before adapting
regulate the degrees of flexion and extension desired, which will lift the lid of the joint. Block-
age takes place at an extension of 0º, the flexo-extension can be regulated at intervals of 0-15-
30-60-90 degrees, by inserting the lock in the different corresponding orifices represented on
the mobility scale of the joint (close the lid). If a kneepad has been chosen that incorporates
velcro pins, these must be the last to be tightened.
