Rozwiązywanie problemów

If you encounter any issues while using your ACE Brand Hinged Knee Brace, consider the following:

• Discomfort or Improper Fit: If the brace feels too tight, too loose, or causes discomfort, re-adjust all straps. Ensure the patella ring is correctly positioned over the kneecap and the hinges align with the sides of your knee.
• Insufficient Support: If the brace does not provide the expected level of support, ensure all straps are tightened appropriately for a firm, yet comfortable fit. Verify that the brace size is suitable for your leg measurements.
• Podrażnienie skóry: If skin irritation occurs, ensure the brace is clean and dry before application. Avoid overtightening. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• Hinge Movement Issues: Check that the hinges are free from debris and are not obstructed. Ensure the brace is worn correctly to allow the hinges to articulate naturally with your knee.

If problems persist or you have concerns about your knee condition, please consult a healthcare professional.
