How to use Breg RoadRunner Knee Brace?
- The wrap-on brace is applied with the closures in the front of the leg and the kneecap cutout centered over the knee. Secure the closures firmly.
- The slip-on brace is applied by pulling the brace on with the kneecap cutout centered over the knee.
- Both the wrap-on and pull-on braces have tightening straps. The straps should be tightened firmly, starting with the two straps closest to the knee.
- Both flexion and extension stops are supplied with the brace. The brace comes with a 10° extension stop already installed. The stops are labeled in degrees as follows; Extension Stops: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30° & 40°, Flexion Stops: 45°, 60°, 75° & 90° (no flexion stops are installed upon shipment).
- To change the stops, first, completely remove the screw. Then remove the stop. Insert the new stop, align with the holes in the hinge, then reinsert the screw.
- Using a Phillips head screw driver, ensure that the screws are seated in the recess and completely tightened. Both medial (inside) and lateral (outside) hinge stops must be identical in degree.
Note: Due to soft tissue compression, we recommend the use of extension stops at least 10° greater than the desired limit. (e.g., if you desire a 10° extension limit, use the 20° extension stop).
How to clean RoadRunner Neoprene Knee Brace?
- After exposure to salt water or dirt, thoroughly rinse the brace with fresh water and allow to air dry.
- A dry lubricant, such as teflon spray, may be used on the hinge occasionally. Do not use wet lubricants.
- The hinge assemblies may be removed to allow easier washing of the sleeve and straps.
- The side bars may be bent to accommodate individual legs. Bend in equal amounts above and below the hinge.
- Periodically inspect the sleeve, straps and hinges for excessive wear. Be sure all screws are tight and stops in place.
