> Closed shoes are used.
1) Put on the orthosis together with the shoe. Ensure that the short side of
the orthosis is located at the instep (see fig. 2).

move slightly in the direction of the tibia.

upper calf strap to the proximal side.
4) Pass the calf strap around the calf and fasten it (see fig. 4).

1) Place the orthosis against the foot. Ensure that the short side is located
at the instep (see fig. 5).
2) Fasten the foot strap to the orthosis.
