Title: Knee Support
Post by: danmeb on April 30, 2008, 02:53:59 PM

Where exacly should the knee supports be placed on your leg?

I have mine about 4 inches from my knee cap and they are unbearable. They rub against my leg so much that I find myself taking the stilts off after twenty minutes due to leg injuries.

Is this just happening to me or is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Mine r like an inch or 2 below mine, just make sure u tighten up the back strap as much as u can, I found it hurts somtimes, some people recommend getting foam tubing and putting it around teh support bar so it doesnt rub

Have a look at this topic just tells you how to adjust it to http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1229.0

You may want to secure your leg with webbing see http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1395.0

If the top of the spring is hurting you, you may want to put some sort of padding there or raise your footplate, check out the mods section for these.

I found out by accident that if you loosen the nuts so that you can only just move the bar, you can put them on a walk on them and adjust them to the right place and then tighten them up  :thumbs:
Don't jump on them like that !
