Stability can be enhanced even further by
inserting the two separate reinforcements in
the side pockets. For correct positioning, the re-
inforcements must be pushed in the direction
of the arrow (punched-out arrow in grey-fabric
cover) upwards into the pocket (Fig. 7). The ar-
row in the fabric cover of the reinforcement
must remain visible. Turn the lower part of the
pocket over the lower edge of the reinforce-
ments once they are pushed in.
Putting on the orthosis
Insert the side bars of the U-shaped plastic ele-
ment into the two pockets on the outside of
the orthosis (Fig. 1) and push them all the way
into the pockets. Both of the pockets feature an
opening for this purpose, located more or less
at ankle bone height. During insertion, make
sure the tip of the plastic element is pointing
towards the front of the foot.
Next, attach the crossover strap to the orthosis
by positioning the centre of the strap beneath
the front part of the orthosis. The rear edge
of the strap should rest against the anti-slip
fixture on the U-shaped plastic element. The
triangle in the middle of the crossover strap
is used to fix the strap to the orthosis; it fits
exactly into the recess on the U-shaped plastic
element, i.e., the tip of the triangle must point
towards the front of the foot (Fig. 2).
To put the brace on, open both of the straps
at the back (Fig. 3) and place the foot in the
orthosis from the rear (Fig. 4).
To tighten the traction system, pull briefly on
the straps before fastening them (Fig. 5). When
pulling the straps tight, make sure the two side
parts do not move (if the two side parts move
too far forwards or backwards, please re-align
them to ensure an optimum fit), and that the
foot is at an angle of 90°. Then fasten the straps
by threading the relevant ends through the
eyes on the opposite sides and then pulling
the strap again to tighten the lacing system. Fix
the strap in place by turning the end over and
fastening it to the strap. Close the lower strap
first, then the upper strap.
Then close the crossover strap by taking both
ends diagonally across the instep to the sides
at the rear (Fig. 6) and fastening them both to
the orthosis. The two parts of the strap should
cross over at the front, at ankle height.
When closing the orthosis and the strap, make
sure that the orthosis fits tightly, but without
constricting.
Taking off the orthosis
To take the orthosis off, loosen the strap across
the instep and the two straps at the back. The
brace can then be pulled off the foot towards
the front.
Care
• First, remove the plastic element (can be
wiped clean with a damp cloth)
• Close all the Velcro fastenings prior to washing
• Do not use any cleaning agents, conditioners
or aggressive products (containing chlorine)
• Squeeze out the water thoroughly
• Dry away from any heat sources
