STEPS FOR PUTTING ON MYOPRO 2+ HARNESS A harness is provided with the MyoPro 2+. It serves to both protect your shoulder joint and to suspend the MyoPro 2+ in correct position on your arm, so it does not slide off. WARNING: A harness should always be worn when the MyoPro 2+ is donned, unless directed otherwise by your physician and/or therapist. Failure to wear a harness may result in shoulder joint discomfort, pain, and/or injury. The MyoPro 2+ is available with two harness models depicted below. Following the appropriate instructions, depending on which harness model you have. CROSS‐BODY HARNESS FIGURE 8 HARNESS ...
CROSS‐BODY HARNESS DONNING If your MyoPro 2+ was provided with a figure 8 harness, skip this section and proceed to the figure 8 harness donning instructions in the next section. For donning the cross‐body harness, follow the steps below: 1. Place the harness saddle on your shoulder. The suspension straps should straddle your shoulder. The middle of the saddle should be at the midline of the shoulder, touching neither the neck or shoulder joint. ...
Page 27
3. Secure the cross‐body strap using the release tab. The saddle should lay flat against your body. Adjust the angle of the fastened release tab to make the saddle sit evenly and comfortably. There should be slack in the finger adjust loop at this point. 4. Abduct the shoulder with the MyoPro 2+ (lifting it to the side), or use furniture to help lift while pulling the finger adjust loop to tension. When your arm returns to your torso, you should feel the tension of the harness ...

FIGURE 8 HARNESS DONNING If your MyoPro 2+ was provided with a cross‐body harness, skip this section and refer to the cross‐body harness donning instructions in the preceding section. For donning the figure 8 harness, following the steps below: Orient the harness and check for twists in the strapping. The puck has a surface covered in red fabric, while the other surface is an intersection of the strapping. The red surface of the puck indicates the side that will lay against your back once the harness is donned, while the straps face away from you. Method 1 (flexibility‐dependent) Place the intact‐side arm through the sound side loop with the fabric of the puck facing you. With your arm against the saddle, lift the harness over and behind your head. Gravity will do most of the work as you let it slide down towards your shoulder. You’re done once it’s nestled in your axilla (armpit). 1.3 Adjust the sound side loop so it rests between the chest and shoulder, protecting the collar bone. It shouldn’t make contact with the neck. The anterior suspension strap coming off the front of the MyoPro may require small adjustments to rest similarly. ...
Page 30
Method 2 (back‐pack method) 2.1 Starting with the harness behind your back, locate the puck using your sound side. Orient the puck so that the fabric side is towards your back, while the straps face away from the you. This will keep the harness oriented in the correct position as you move your hand into the sound side loop. Take note that both of the harness straps from the MyoPro begin around the back of the device. The anterior suspension strap will be moved into position at the end. 2.2 With the sound side loop around your intact‐side wrist, begin to wriggle the loop up your arm, towards your shoulder. The final motion will require a shoulder shrug to help the strapping cross your shoulders to the front of your body. 2.3 Adjust the sound side loop so it rests between the chest and shoulder, protecting the collar bone. It shouldn’t make contact with the neck. The anterior suspension strap coming off the front of the MyoPro may require small adjustments to rest similarly. ...
Page 31
FIGURE 8 HARNESS DOFFING Slide the anterior suspension strap off of the MyoPro‐side shoulder. There should then be enough slack to remove the sound side loop off the intact side. Resting your intact arm at your side will allow the sound side loop to fall down your arm. It may take minor maneuvering, but once the loop is past your elbow, simply lifting the sound side arm will finish removing the harness. FIGURE 8 ADJUSTMENT The harness can be made looser by pulling forward The harness can be tightened by pulling back on the sound on the anterior adjustment buckle side loop strap that exits the anterior adjustment buckle ...
