To properly use knee guards (braces), follow these steps for a secure and effective fit:
- Sit Down and Step Through: Begin by sitting down and stepping through the knee brace.
- Align the Hinge: Bend your knee and carefully align the hinge of the brace with the center of your knee joint. This ensures proper articulation and support.
- Secure the Bottom Strap: Fasten the bottom strap first, ensuring it's snug but doesn't restrict circulation.
- Secure the Top Strap: Secure the top strap around your thigh, ensuring a firm hold.
- Secure Remaining Straps: Secure the strap just below the knee, then proceed with securing any remaining straps, ensuring each is snug but comfortable.
In essence, the process involves positioning the brace correctly over the knee joint and then tightening the straps in a specific order to achieve a secure and functional fit. Remember to prioritize comfort and proper circulation.
