Clamping your knee kit to a tabletop

To perform manual muscle simulations with your knee kit, it's easier to secure your kit to a surface like a tabletop. This will free up your hands to be able to attach and pull the manual muscle cords.

1. Start by setting the bracket along an edge or at a corner of your tabletop. The slot cutout of the bracket should be facing away from the edge of the table, as shown in the image below.
   
2. Next, secure the bracket to the tabletop using the two clamps. Attach the clamps at opposite sides of the bracket to keep the bracket from twisting on the tabletop and angle them as much as possible so they don't block the motion of the knee. If you're using some material to protect the table surface, insert these between the clamp and the table.
   
   
3. Slide the superior cross section plate (the one attached to the femur) into the bracket, oriented so that the knee is hanging out over the side of the table (the foot of the cross section plate should slide into the corresponding slot on the bracket).
