Defining the location of the shoulder straps and hip ligaments
The position of the shoulder strap and hip ligament attachments should also be adjusted during the first training
session. There are five positions available for each attachment along the inner hip belt. The shoulder straps should
sit in a position that is shoulder-width apart to ensure a comfortable fit. The hip ligaments should align with the
hip bones and extend in the direction of the knee. The attachment of the shoulder straps and hip ligaments to
the inner hip belt is explained below.

the hip ligaments in position 4.
Donning procedure
During the donning procedure, the operator needs to follow a series of steps to 1) prepare, 2) attach, and 3) adjust
the Myosuit to the user. The Myosuit includes two different colors to help the operator identify the elements for
preparation, attachment, or adjustment.
