Canadian Serial Knee & Elbow Orthoses

Measurement & Fitting

The limb should be extended as far as possible before fitting the orthosis.  The distance should be measured in a straight line from the mid upper arm to the mid lower arm with the limb as fully extended as possible.  (For the knee, measure in straight line from the mid thigh to the mid shank with the limb as fully extended as possible). This distance sets the Side Bar length.

The circumference should be measured at the upper and lower mid points of the limb.  The Cuff Size is half of this circumference.  For example, a Cuff 7 will fit a limb with a circumference of 14”.

The Knee or Elbow Pad will be sized in between the Cuff sizes.

The Orthosis should be fitted with the limb as fully extended as is comfortable.  The straps for the Knee or Elbow pads should be snugged up and excess trimmed off.  The straps can be snugged up as the flexion contracture is reduced.

For the best results, use with daily stretching.
