1.

Ensure a proper fit:

The brace should be snug but not too tight, allowing you to fit 1-2 fingers between the strap and your leg. Align the brace so the hole is centered over your kneecap. Fasten the bottom strap first, followed by the middle and top straps. For pull-on sleeves, slide the brace over your foot and up your leg with your knee bent at 90 degrees.

2.

Wear the Brace consistently:

Gradually increase wearing time to allow your body to adjust, starting with 30-60 minutes. Remove the brace periodically to allow your skin to breathe and prevent marks.

3.

Easy to maintain:

Fabric braces can be machine washed. Check for loose hinges and replace worn liners/straps as needed. Never make alterations or repairs yourself.

4.

Combine with other treatments:

Braces are most effective when used in conjunction with physical therapy, medications, and other treatments. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience more discomfort.
