Using a knee splint typically involves correctly positioning and securing it to provide support and immobilization to the knee joint. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the provided reference:
-
Position the Support:
- With the smooth side facing you, place the support on your knee.
- Ensure the hole in the support is positioned directly over your kneecap.
-
Secure the Straps:
- Keep your leg stretched while holding the support in place.
- Take the two top straps and cross them behind and above your knee.
- Attach these straps to the front of the support.
This method aims to provide adequate support by ensuring the kneecap is properly aligned within the hole and that the straps are firmly secured to maintain the splint's position.
