2.2.3. Attaching the brace to the arm

1 

Lay the rail adjacent to the patient’s forearm and position the fingers in the 
finger baskets so that they are flush.

Ensure that the pivot of the brace hinge matches the physiological pivot of the 
wrist. 

It is possible for you to adjust the arm rod to the shape of the patient‘s lower 
arm by using an orthopaedic bending iron.
