How to Put On DonJoy ROAM OA Knee Brace

  1. Disconnect magnetic latches on thigh & calf cuffs.
  2. Sit on edge of chair, knee flexed at approx 45 degrees with foot resting on the floor.
  3. Position the centre of the hinge slightly above the centre of your knee cap.
  4. With buckles in the open position, connect the magnetic latches on thigh & calf cuffs. You’ll hear a “click” when fully clipped in.
  5. Close the thigh and calf buckles.
  6. Adjust thigh & calf circumferential straps for a more secure fit as desired.
  7. For thigh tensioning, rotate the BOA dials clockwise to tighten, then repeat for calf cuff.

Tips for Success

Proper Positioning From the Start

To avoid gaps around the hinges, ensure comfort and most importantly proper function and protection. Ensure you start with the middle of the hinge aligned with the top of your knee cap- a common mistake is starting with the brace too low on the knee. Once aligned, ensure the brace is pushed back so the hinges hug your knee and are not sitting too far forward.

Avoid Slippage

Wear your brace against your skin when possible. When worn over clothing, the brace can be pulled down when you bend your knee. The brace can also migrate down if the thigh straps (#2 & #3) are too tight. When you move, the brace can end up pistoning down your leg.

Ease Into Wearing It

Red and irritated skin can be signs of wearing your brace too much, too soon. Typically it takes about 1-2 weeks for your knee to get used to the brace.

Cleaning Tips

After regular use your brace (particularly the soft pads and straps) get dirty from sweat and oils on our skin. 

  • Hand wash your liners, straps and condyle pads in cold water with mild detergent. AIR DRY ONLY; DO NOT HEAT DRY LINERS, STRAPS OR PADS.
  • Use wet wash cloth with mild detergent to hand wash uprights and shell. Rinse entire brace in cold water. AIR DRY.
  • Lubricate hinges periodically with dry lubricant or Teflon™ spray. To lubricate internal hinge mechanism, place brace in flexion and spray into the back side of the hinge cover.
  • The brace may be used in fresh or salt water. Following use in water activities, drain thoroughly and rinse with clean, fresh water and then air dry.
