GENUX. This drawing is used during the production process to choose the right sizes and shapes. When the GENUX 2 is complete, Ambroise

sends the orthosis to the orthotist. Your orthotist will then invite you to an appointment where you can fit the knee orthosis. During this

appointment, the orthotist will also need to adjust some elements of your GENUX 2. For example, setting the lengths of the straps, but the

orthotist also looks at the level of correction achieved with the GENUX 2. If all settings are right, you can take the GENUX 2 home so you

can practice using it.

DONNING THE GENUX

The GENUX 2 can be worn either underneath clothing or on top of clothing. When worn underneath clothing we advise to wear a sleeve

under the brace. There needs to be migration underneath the GENUX at the front side of the upper leg (see Anti-Slipping above). The human

skin can have a relatively high coefficient of friction, making slipping of the interfaces with respect to the skin more difficult. The sleeve can

ensure a low coefficient of friction between sleeve and pelottes. Furthermore the sleeve is an extra protective cover for sensitive skin. If you

order a GENUX 2 a sleeve will be supplied. You can order spare sleeves in various designs on our web shop.

When donning a GENUX 2 please follow the steps as described below

Step 3 Attach the GENUX 2 to the calf strap

Step 4 Push the GENUX 2 down

A) Push the GENUX 2 against the tension of the elastic down until the interface just above the knee t

ouches the upper leg.

Step 5 Attach the strap just below the knee
