2.3. Fitting the brace by the orthopaedic technician

2.3.1. Deactivation of spring tension

Before fitting the brace, you must deactivate the spring tension.

1

Set the switches on both hinges to "off".

2

Place the brace into plantar flexion as far as the patient is allowed to move.
The activation mechanism of the hinge is then set to this position and the
patient can reactivate the spring force in this position.
