1. Carefully cut off the attached plastic bag with the extension and flexion parts inside and
set off to the side. Open all the buckles and extend all the fastener straps, two above the
knee hinge and two below the knee hinge. Remove the snaps to the buckles from each of
the straps, and lock them into the corresponding buckle. Make sure you hear a snapping
sound and give each a small tug to make sure they are locked into place.
2. Be sure you are placing the KN207 Brace on the injured knee for which it was prescribed.
While sitting in a chair with your leg straight, position the knee brace on your leg so that
the hinge is centered to your knee. Starting with the top strap and moving down, bring
the strap under your leg and thread it through the rectangular slot at the end of the
buckle. Next, pull the strap in place against itself. Do this for each of the straps (2). At this
point, you want to make sure the brace is hinge-centered to your knee cap, you will
tighten the straps later on.
3. From time to time, the strap will seem too long. Remove the strap from the buckle and
slide your fingers to the other end of the strap. Open the fastener section and shorten
the length of the strap by pulling more of it through the plastic slot in the braces outer
shell (3). Lock the fastener in place and smooth out the remainder of the strap. Repeat
step 2.
4. Once your knee brace is properly aligned to your knee cap, stand up and with a slight
bend to your knee, tighten all the straps in place so that you can be assured that the brace
will not slide up or down or rotate on your leg. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Hinge Adjustment*: using the included Allen Wrench, loosen both screws on the hinge
cover. Place the paired hinge stops provided. Place one part of the pair on each side of
the hinge, to restrict the range of motion of the hinge bend.
*Per physician’s instructions, identify the correct hinge stops
6. Unloading Adjustment: using the included Allen Wrench, turn the unloading dial located
just above the ROM hinge. Turn it counter-clockwise to adjust the amount of pressure
unloaded.
