3) Let the orthosis cool down fully.
Grinding
• Recommended tools:
Sander (The grinding speed should not exceed 1500 rpm, or the material may overheat and
melt.)
Abrasive sanding cone
Fine grit sandpaper
1) Once complete, use fine grit sandpaper to smooth the edges.
2) Sand the edge of the orthosis, moving from the inside to the outside of the orthosis.
3) Make sure there are no sharp edges before dispensing the orthosis.
7 Handling
The child should progressively increase the time spent in their orthosis over a 5 day period to
allow for an acclimation period (see subsequent table). After 5 days, the orthosis should be worn
at least 23 hours/day to attain optimal treatment results. Activities that require the orthosis to be
removed (e.g. bathing) should be limited. The orthosis may cause increased perspiration during
the first 2-3 weeks of treatment, but this typically decreases over time.
If therapy for other conditions such as torticollis is needed during the MyCRO Band treatment,
the device can be removed for short durations as appropriate.
If the orthotic treatment is interrupted for an extended time period, the acclimation period may
need to be repeated.
If there are problems with the orthosis, the caregiver should make an appointment imme­
diately. The caregiver should not wait until the next scheduled appointment. It is import­
ant that the orthosis is worn consistently.
