How to adjust in sequence to prevent slipping below Knee
Nathan Brown
The brace should not slip, if it does you should try and adjust the calf. The Brace is malleable, you can bend the frame to tighten it.
See the video below for strapping sequence.

I am a spin instructor and have severe OA from mal tracking syndrome which was complicated by gymnastics and cheer leading. I am now 44 and can not spin without my knee cap floating out of place. It causes me to "trip" and catch myself, a very uneasy and super frustrating feeling as I am not able to do speed intervals anymore. I cant run on the bike out of the saddle either without my knee cap dislocating.
Do you recommend a custom brace? I still have to be able to do full ROM rotation on the spin bike and I teach the class standing riding to the music beat.
I have been teaching this class since 1999 and just recently, out of nowhere, my knee cap started doing this...
I recommend an OA Brace if only 1 compartment is affected. Do you know which compartment is affected? This type of brace will help give you relief from the joint pain and offload the damaged meniscus.
I recommend the Tru-Pull Lite to help with the patella tracking, this brace provides moderate to severe support against dislocations.

I believe you are having migration issues. Check the calf bar to make sure it is snug. Also, make sure you are following the strapping sequence. If you need assistance with the brace application of modification please contact your local Sales Representative. See the link below.

Do you need a Knee Immobilizer? Or a Functional Knee Brace. The difference is the Knee Immobilizer prevents motion so knee won't give out. Or we have functional knee braces to provide support during activity.

I recommend the OA Nano, it's our lightest OA Brace, weighing 14.2 ounces. You will need to know if you have medial or lateral OA, and order your brace based on that diagnosis.
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.
