Kurulum ve Uygulama

Proper application of the knee brace is crucial for its effectiveness and your comfort. Follow these steps for correct setup:

2. Desteği Konumlandırın: Sit or stand with your leg slightly bent. Wrap the brace around your knee, ensuring the patella (kneecap) opening is centered over your kneecap. The hinges should align with the natural bend of your knee joint.
3. Kayışları Sabitleyin: Begin by fastening the strap directly above the kneecap, followed by the strap directly below the kneecap. Adjust these for a snug, but not overly tight, fit.
4. Fasten Remaining Straps: Proceed to fasten the upper and lower straps. Ensure all straps are evenly tightened to prevent slippage and provide consistent support.
5. Uygunluğu Kontrol Edin: The brace should feel secure and comfortable, allowing for natural knee movement without pinching or excessive pressure. It should not slide down your leg during activity.
