10.6 The Front Knee
Supports
The knee brackets come as standard
with knee supports; these should always
be used when the user is in supine but
can also be used for prone standing
for additional support and security. To
fasten the pad insert the plastic clip into
the buckle on the side of the main knee
support. Then grab the straps ends and pull
firmly away from the user, which will secure
the pad around the users leg. To remove
the pad simply squeeze the tabs on the top
and bottom of the plastic clip and the pad
will pop off (c).
Always check with your therapist as to
the correct tensioning of the straps for
your child as the kneecap is a sensitive
area and too much force could
cause injury.
