2.2. The leg straps running down the
inner side are attached to the chest
strap, so that a spreading of the upper
thigh within the hip joints is possible to a
degree of between 50° and 55° per leg.

Important: The attachment points
of the leg straps must lie below an
imaginary line drawn between the
armpits.
Following this, the outer leg straps are
fastened to the rear buckles on the chest
strap.

2.3 Should an increase in movement of
the upper thighs be undesirable during
the therapy course, the adjustable
abduction inhibitor belt can be used. It has
an insert sleeve for exchangeable stages,
with the help of which an undesired
adduction of the hips can be limited. A
shorter stage is already enclosed within
the belt, a longer stage is enclosed with
the Pavlik bandage. The stages can also
be shortened when required. To guarantee
a correct fit of the foot parts, the three
fasteners for the instep, above the heel
and around the calf should not be applied
too loosely.
3. Final fixing of the straps and
padded straps
3.1 All belts can be shortened using a pair
of scissors. How ever, make sure to leave
enough excess end. Keep in mind that the
belts might need to be changed during
the course of the therapy. After the
final length of the belts is set, the ends
with the hook and loop fasteners of the
padded flaps must also be fixed.
