Based on the provided reference which describes how to wear a short knee brace, the last step to securing it involves using the center strap to lock it over the patella. Here's a breakdown:
- Secure the brace: Ensure the brace is properly positioned on your knee.
- Adjust straps: Tighten the straps so the brace is snug but not too tight. The reference mentions making sure the brace "is not loose."
- Center Strap: Take the center strap of the knee brace.
- Lock over Patella: Position the center strap and secure it over your patella (kneecap). This helps stabilize and support your knee.
Keep in mind that the "knee belt" being referenced is likely a component of a knee brace. Specific instructions may vary depending on the type of knee brace. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific brace.
