1
Pull the brace on. Braces have words on the outside (the manufacturer or company name), and people looking at the brace while it is on should be able to read the words right side up. If the words appear upside down, then the brace is on incorrectly.
-
2
Make sure the hinges are located on the side of the knee joint and that the brace is not crooked.

3
The brace should fit snuggly, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation.
-
4
Move knee back and forth to make sure there is still flexibility and range of motion. If there is no range of motion, the brace is too tight. If the brace slides as the knee is moving, the brace is too big. In both situations, a new brace is needed.

Normal activities should be possible while wearing the brace.
