GENUDYN® CI Knee Brace: How to correctly apply the Sporlastic GENUDYN® CI Knee Brace – Step-by-Step Instructions The GENUDYN® CI from Sporlastic is a functional knee brace for controlled stabilization and guidance of the knee joint – especially after cruciate ligament injuries or surgery. It allows for individually adjustable limitations of movement in extension and flexion, as well as targeted relief of the affected structures. Indications The GENUDYN® CI Knee Brace is particularly suitable for: Rupture or insufficiency of the anterior or posterior cruciate ligament After surgical treatment of cruciate ligament injuries Instability of the knee joint Chronic or post-traumatic ligament lesions For guidance and relief during rehabilitation The brace is individually fitted by medically trained professionals. Wear smooth, close-fitting trousers or compression stockings under the brace to avoid skin irritation or pressure sores. 1. Preparing the Orthosis – Adjusting the Hook-and-Loop Fasteners and Joints Note the included joint stops. These are used temporarily according to your doctor's instructions. The wedges are marked: E stands for Extension, F for Flexion. The doctor determines the desired range of motion. This is adjusted using the wedges. The number on the wedge indicates the respective angle. Insert the flexion wedges into the back of the joint. To remove the wedges, use the included pin. Open all straps using the snap fasteners. Use the included padding for adjustment – ​​especially as swelling subsides. 2. Applying the Orthosis Positioning: Sit comfortably and bend your leg slightly (approx. 30 degrees). Position the orthosis so that the center of the joint hinge is at the level of the top of the kneecap. The upper shell should rest against the thigh, the lower shell against the lower leg. Securing the straps: The two front straps should generally not be opened again after initial application. If readjustment is necessary, start with the strap below the kneecap and close it with the hook-and-loop fastener. Then secure the strap above the kneecap. Ensure that the hinge is centered over the knee joint. Close the remaining straps according to their numbering in the specified order. When closing the second strap, the lower shell should lift by one finger's width. Insert the straps into the click-lock mechanism on the inside until they audibly click into place. The last strap ensures that the lower shell fits snugly. Finally, tighten the straps with the hook-and-loop fastener – the brace must not slip. 3. Checking the fit and stability Checking the joint position: The brace must not shift or tilt during movement. Movement Test: If pressure points or pain occur, readjust the straps or contact your healthcare professional. 4. Final Instructions Skin Check: The brace should fit snugly without constricting. Regularly check your skin for redness, pressure points, or chafing. If you experience numbness or skin irritation, the fit should be checked. The upper shell will usually lift slightly when sitting. This is normal. Duration of Wear: Wear the brace only for the period recommended by your doctor or therapist. If you experience any unusual discomfort, please contact your healthcare professional.
