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
During the first few days, the orthosis is worn for shorter periods of time so your child can
become accustomed to it (see the table below). The orthosis should subsequently be worn all day
and all night (23 hours minimum) in order to obtain the best possible results. The orthosis should
be worn with as few interruptions as possible, e.g. removed only for bathing or treatment by a
physiotherapist. Wearing the orthosis can cause increased perspiration during the first two to
three weeks. This is normal and decreases over time.
If treatment is required for other illnesses such as torticollis during therapy with the MyCRO
Band, the orthosis may be removed briefly.
If wearing the orthosis is interrupted for an extended period of time, another familiarisation period
may be required.
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.
