4. Position the shell (E) against the shin and apply the calf strapping to
secure the device in a comfortable manner (f ig. 4.).
5. Fasten the heel strapping being sure to center the heel of the foot into
the heel strapping opening as illustrated (f ig. 5.). Do not overtighten
the heel strapping.
Device removal
Loosen the calf strapping without pulling through D-rings and unfasten
the heel strapping to provide enough room to remove the device from
the foot.
Device Adjustments
The device has been pre-shaped to provide the optimal degree of stretch
to the foot. In situations where a more customized level of stretch of the
foot is required, the device shell can be modified by hand to either
increase or decrease the angle and degree of flexion of the foot.
When modifying the angle of the shell to increase or decrease the stretch
of the foot, the device should be held and bent in such a way as to create
a bending point at the mid section of the shell in the area of the heel
strapping. The shell is not intended to be repeatedly bent and modified
as this will adversely affect product integrity.
Note: The shell angle should be adjusted and modified only in special
circumstances and only by a healthcare professional. Repeated
modification of the shell angle will compromise the shell integrity.
