Adjust the strap length to desired fit by using the hook and loop closure. Next, fasten strap number 2 around the lower calf muscles. Fasten the thigh straps in proper order and in the same way as strap number 1

3. Stand, and check the tightness of the straps. Walk with the brace on to see if the strap causes any discomfort or not, or causes the pain worsening. If it does, re-adjust the strap while seated, then stand and walk again to test the pain relief. Adjust the hinge with hex wrench for minor adjustments.
