PUTTING ON THE APPLIANCE
DONNING THE ORTHOSIS FOR THE FIRST TIME
1 The orthosis comes with a rigid frame already positioned in the pocket; if this has not been prescribed, open the
bottom of the pocket, slide out the frame (fig. A) and reclose the pocket with the Velcro®. If required, shape the frame
according to the patient’s anatomy.
2 Undo the orthosis and attach the Velcro® straps to the side strips for the time being (fig. B). The ends of the shoulder
straps can also be attached to the side strips for the moment (fig. B) or folded back on themselves.
3 Put on the orthosis by sliding the arms through the shoulder straps as if it were a backpack (fig. C).
4 Close the orthosis at the front securely with the central Velcro® fastening (fig. D). Check that the front fastening is
properly centred.
5 Start to tighten the orthosis:
– Attach the lower straps to the Velcro® strip at the front (fig. E).
6 Remove the elasticated panel from the back and reattach with Velcro® at the desired height (fig. F).
7 Adjust the shoulder straps:
1. Position the ends on the Velcro® strip at the front and undo the straps from the corresponding Y-Velcro® (fig. G)
fasteners.
2. Grasp the straps and pull towards the front (fig. I).
3. Cut off any excess and attach them to the corresponding Y-Velcro® fasteners (fig. M).
8 If necessary, slide the additional pads onto the shoulder straps until they are in the required position
