Sometimes slippage is caused by improper application. The brace must be applied in the proper sequence.

The lower cruciate strap must be comfortably snug so the brace can suspend on the gastroc muscle.

In the event of neurological problems such as weakness, paralysis or loss of bladder control, an x-ray as well and an MRI or myelogram may be ordered.

The nerves that go to the legs come off of the spinal cord. As they come off, they run in the spinal canal and then come out between two of the vertebral bodies. When they are in the canal, they are named by the associated disc level (Lumbar 5 or L5). When the nerves come out the individual levels, they group together to make up named nerves, e.g., the sciatic nerve.

Leg pain is a common symptom of sciatica and, while the pain may be felt in the legs, the source of the pinched nerve is not at the location of the pain itself. The pinched nerve is usually located in the lower back. The reason the pain is felt somewhere else is because the sciatic nerve travels all the way from the lower back to the feet. So nerve compression in the low back can trick the brain into feeling the pain anywhere along that route.

Stainless steel can unpredictably sustain galling (cold welding). Stainless steel self-generates an oxide surface film for corrosion protection. During fastener tightening, as pressure builds between the contacting and sliding, thread surfaces, protective oxides are broken, possibly wiped off, and interface metal high points shear or lock together. This cumulative clogging-shearing-locking action causes increasing adhesion.

LEG stands for "legato." This feature uses some elaborate GigaStudio instrument programming using "masking samples" to smooth the transitions between sustain notes. It requires MaestroTools which activates the legato features whenever the Sustain Pedal is depressed.

It is probably something in the configuration of the user's computer. A Web site that I maintain for my employer had a similar complaint on one occasion.
