How Does the Selection Knee Optima Sleeve Prevent Knee Hyperextension?

How Do I Fit the Selection Knee Sleeve?

1. (This step should only be carried out by an authorised person - please consult the User Instructions located in the PDF at the bottom of the page for more details.)
2. If the brace should be fitted with the hyperextension cross, this should now be mounted. This is done with the uprights in the brace pockets.
3. Open all the Velcro closures. Position the brace onto the leg with the patella correctly positioned in the patella opening. Secure the strap under the knee.
4. Then close the remaining straps on the front as showed in picture 4.
5. Secure the straps on the back side of the leg (picture 5 and 6).
6. If the brace includes the hyperextension cross, adjust tension and snug this strap on the front of the thigh.
7. Then close the remaining straps.
8. Close the two straps under the patella. These two straps give a mild support to prevent the shin from sliding forward. If these straps are not needed - cut them off.
9. Adjust for comfort.

Washing Instructions

2. Machine wash in 40°C.
