Otto Bock Omo Neurexa plus Patient Instructions page 3

Patient instructions for don-
ning and doffing with one hand
Before you use these instructions, your O&P profes-
sional or therapist has already instructed you regard-
ing the use of the orthosis and configured all settings.
Please follow the individual steps for donning and
doffing as described.
1 Grasp the shoulder strap with your sound hand and
hold the orthosis by the edge of the shoulder cap.
2 Guide the paralysed arm through the orthosis up to the
shoulder.
3 Guide the sound hand through the shoulder strap as
though putting on a sweater.
4 Make sure the shoulder strap does not twist as you
pull it on.
Fasten the closure on the shoulder cuff. Make sure it
5
fits firmly but is not too tight.
6 Position the elbow opening of the lower arm cuff on the
elbow. Then fasten the hook-and-loop closure.
7 Tighten the straps between the forearm and upper arm
cuffs, and secure them with hook-and-loop fastener.
8 Tighten the shoulder strap last. This is done either
from the back to the front or the front to the back,
depending on how the strap was set up for you by
your O&P professional.
Verify the correct fit of the Omo Neurexa plus.

To take off the Omo Neurexa plus, open all closures to
1
the maximum. This also makes the orthosis ready to
put on again with minimal effort.
2 Open the plastic closure on the chest last and pull the
orthosis down.
