Fitting instructions

1
Slip into the dressing aid with your foot.
2
Release the support strap. To ease putting the support on, pull it over the
dressing aid on the foot. Check the correct fit.
3
Then, take hold of the dressing aid at the tip and pull it forwards out of the
support. To simplify putting the rest on, we recommend – if possible – placing
the foot on the thigh on the opposite side.
4
Guide the elastic strap around the ankle joint and over the instep to the outer
surface of the foot.
5
Guide the strap underneath the sole of the foot to the inner surface of the
foot. If necessary, the heel bone can be pulled towards the middle of the body
using the other hand in this phase to support the restraints.
6
Close the elastic strap by placing the Velcro tip on the velour field above the
inner ankle pad. Check and, if necessary, make final corrections to the fit and
the individual strap tension of the aid.
Removal
To remove the support, please open the elastic strap, grasp the lower edge of the
support and pull it down over the foot.
Tip: Close the Velcro fasteners in order to avoid early wear to the Velcro surface.
