FIRST USE OF THE GENUX 2

If you get home with your GENUX 2, you can use the orthosis during your daily activities. Take into account that you have to get used to

wearing a GENUX 2 at first use. To function properly, the orthosis should push against your leg on various spots. At these pressure points your

skin must get used to the load of the brace.

It is therefore wise to slowly build up the use of the GENUX 2. Although most users in the end wear the GENUX 2 all day, it's advisable to

build up the usage time slowly in the first few days.

Your orthotist has set up the GENUX 2 during the fitting phase. The chosen settings were at that moment carefully selected by your orthotist

to best fit your situation. However, some of these settings may need to be modified later on.

In the end, only you can really judge whether the GENUX 2 is comfortable, by wearing it for hours. Therefore, it's a good idea to register your

first-day experiences for yourself, for example, by writing them down. If, after a few days, you find that there is still some improvement needed

in the setting of your GENUX 2, your orthotist will get a good idea of your experiences and know how to customize the GENUX 2 to meet

your needs. Setting up the GENUX 2 requires a good insight into the clinical situation of your knee and the possibilities and impossibilities of

the GENUX 2. Your orthotist is trained for that. Therefore, contact him if something needs to be changed and do not change settings yourself.

The GENUX 2 does its job when the leg is stretched and loaded, especially during standing and walking. If the GENUX 2 is bent and/or the leg

is not loaded, the corrective action of the GENUX 2 is low. Some people choose not to wear the GENUX 2 on days or dayparts that they are

mostly sitting. For other people, even the few steps they make during such a day(parts) are too unstable and/or painful to do without the

GENUX 2. You can ultimately judge best for which activities you most benefit from wearing your orthosis.

Keep in mind that sometimes the reaction to overloading your knee (by not wearing your GENUX 2) will come later, for example, at night.

Most people therefore choose to wear the GENUX 2 throughout the day.

The GENUX 2 can be used for sporting activities. Exercising is healthy. If you are able to exercise again, using the GENUX 2, we advise you do

that. However, the GENUX 2 is not a sports brace. The GENUX will especially benefit from sports activities where you can make steps, such

as walking. For sports where the knees remain mainly bent, such as cycling, skating or skiing, the GENUX 2 relieving effect is significantly less.

Keep in mind that if you're going to walk more and faster, the GENUX 2 pushes more to your leg. This may overload the skin on the contact

points with the GENUX 2. Slowly building up activities is therefore advisable.

Ambroise not only pays attention to the innovation of its products, but also to the way they are individually measured. Every GENUX 2 is

custom made based on two digital photos using the Ambroise Photo Measurement Technique. (See Figure 7).
