wedges or 0° wedges. The wedges define
the exact excursion of the orthosis. In
difficult soft-tissue conditions, e.g.
where the soft-tissues are under
compression, it may be necessary to
insert the larger wedge to limit the joint
movement to the desired excursion. In
addition, make sure that the orthosis
joints are correctly positioned: the
middles of the joints should be level with
the upper border of the patella. The joint
must lie behind the midline of the leg.

Fitting instructions

• Open all straps and the two hook and
loop fasteners.
• Now put your leg into a 45-degree
angle flexion position. Wrap the
orthosis tightly around your leg from
the back and close it with the two hook
and loop strips (Image 1),
• Make sure that the kneecap is in the
middle of the patella recess.
• The centres of the brace joints should
be at the top edge of the kneecap and
just behind the lateral centre line of
the leg (image 2).
• Now close the bottom strap and then
the top strap (image 3).
• If possible, walk a few steps and check
if the brace is properly fitted (image 4).
Correct the fit of the brace at the leg, if
required.
