DonJoy Armor Knee Brace With FourcePoint Hinge

How to use Donjoy ACL Brace?

• While sitting on the edge of a chair, step through the brace. Flexing the knee to 45°, position the brace, centering the hinge about 1" (2.54 cm) above the top of the kneecap and slightly past midline of the leg. Make sure the brace is not twisted on the leg. 
• Secure the bottom calf strap first, then the top thigh strap. 
• Keeping the knee bent at 45 degrees, push both condyles (hinges) toward the back of the leg. 
• Maintaining the position of the hinges: for ACL version secure lower thigh strap , for PCL version secure upper calf strap, for CI version secure lower thigh strap then upper calf strap on the back of the leg. 
• For ACL version, draw the hinges forward slightly before fastening the front tibial (shin) strap. 
• For PCL version draw the hinges forward slightly before fastening the front thigh strap. 
• For CI version draw the hinges forward slightly before fastening the front tibial (shin) and the front thigh strap. 
• Do not pull the hinges beyond midline of the leg. 
• For ACL version next, secure the upper calf strap. 
• Be careful not to pull this strap too tight and risk circulation problems. 
• When all strapping is complete, the hinge should center just above the top of the kneecap and slightly behind midline. To ensure that no slippage occurs during activity, it is recommended to do a few knee bends or walk for a few minutes, then re-tighten the straps following steps.

• Your DonJoy knee braces comes with 10° extension stops installed. To change the installed stops, first completely remove the screw. Then remove the stops. Insert the new stops, align with the holes in the hinge plate, then reinsert the screw. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, ensure that the screws are seated in the recess and completely tightened. Both medial and lateral stops must be identical in degree.
• Lateral slide shield hinge cover (standard on LEGEND). In order to remove the extension stop, it is necessary to flex the hinge and slide the protective shield cover off before removing the stop. 
• Extension Stops: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°. Flexion Stops: 0°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°
