A) The straps can be adjusted by means of the Velcro closure.
B)
The double backing hook-to-hook piece can be shifted to a new location at your liking, to ensure that the end of the strap is
fully gripping.
Step 9 Adjust strap tension (B2 and B3, strap just above and just below the knee)
A) The straps B2 (the one just above the knee) and B3 (The one just below the knee) should be adjusted with the knee fully
extended, for instance while standing
B)
Because these straps are connected to each other they need to be adjusted the same amount for each strap.
C) Make sure the marker on the connecting cable is always at the level of the knee centre.
D) The strap are loosened when flexing the knee. Adjusting them in full extending / standing ensures you feel what the maximum
tension of the straps will be
E)
When fully tensioned in flexed position, the straps can increase in tension on the leg considerably when the brace is stretched.
This might cause discomfort or worse. Please therefore do not tension the straps in sitting position.
F)
If all steps are at the appropriate tension, you can walk with the GENUX 2.

It will require practice to become skilful in donning and doffing the orthosis.
DOFFING THE GENUX 2
When doffing a GENUX 2, the sequence is less important. For most people, it's easy to start with the upper strap. The GENUX 2 straps can
be loosened by turning them out of the connector (see photo series 'opening the clips' on the following page).
The clip that attaches the GENUX 2 to the calf strap is easy to loosen by pressing the two pins from both ends inwards
