• whereby the first end of the strap is adapted to be passed over the belt of the wearer and the first and second hook-and-loop fasteners brought into contact and fixed at variable distances with respect to each other so as to establish a certain distance from the belt to the upper part of the splint, whereby the splint is held such that the knee of the wearer is at the knee segment of the splint and the splint is prevented from sliding down the leg of the wearer while standing or walking;
• and
• an adjustable buckle clasp assembly located along the strap between the second hook-and-loop fastener and the second end of the strap to connect the second end to the hook.
