3. Phase - remodulation phase
In the final therapy phase, the webbing is removed to allow further
freedom of movement. The aim is to continue to get the affected
structures used to loads and strengthen them. The stiff tongue and the
knitted fabric continue to support the body's own joint stabilisation
proprioceptively.
Putting on the orthesis
• (Fig.1) Attach the middle of the strap to the front part of the bottom of
the foot. Here one should ensure a marked trapezoid shape. This way,
the strap end that is marked with „ " lies on the outer side of the foot
and that the point symbols are visible.
• (Fig.2) Now fasten the stabilisation element (thermoplastically
formable) into the knitted fabric and make sure that it is fixed to the
ground at the two hook and loop points and at the calf brace.
• (Fig.3 and Fig.4) Grip the orthesis from above at both sides and secure
the stabilising element with the knitted fabric. Ensure that the orthesis
is wide open and now pull it onto the foot until the heel lies properly in
the shell.
• (Fig.5) When closing the orthesis, please ensure that the tongue is under
the knitted fabric, as with a conventional laced shoe. During lacing, the
foot should be in a 90° position to the lower leg (depending on pain).
• (Fig.6) Now close the orthesis. To do this, click the laces into the eyelets
and fix at the end with a bow. Make sure that the orthesis fits tightly to
the foot, but avoid any pinching of the foot caused by pulling too tightly.
• (Fig.7 and Fig.8) Now grasp the end of the strap lying to the outside of
the foot, „ ". Guide this diagonally over the instep, backwards and
upwards, and fasten it above the ankle on the fleece.
• (Fig.9 and Fig.10) Do the same with the second strap end „
then fastened next to the first strap end.
• (Fig.11) The length of the strap can be individually adapted by cutting to
size. To do this open the hook and loop fastenings on the strap ends and
cut the strap accordingly.
Taking it off
• First loosen the strap and the lacing.
• In order to make taking it off easier, please make sure that the orthesis is
wide open.
• Hold the tongue with one hand, with the other grasp the knitted fabric
and the stabilising element.
• Now push the orthesis down over the foot.
Care instructions
Hook and loop fasteners should be closed for washing. We recommend
using a laundry bag. Fabric softeners, fats, oils, lotions, ointments and
soap residues can affect the material, hinder the climate comfort effect
and cause skin irritations.
• Wash the product by hand, preferably using a medi clean detergent, or
in delicate cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent without fabric
conditioners.
