1. Introduction
1.1. Foreword
Dynamic spring-loaded orthoses can be used
to treat joint contractures caused by both
neurological and orthopaedic conditions.
The shortening of the tissue surrounding the
joint decreases the range of motion affecting
the patient’s everyday life. Therefore, our
CDS
®
concept aims to increase the range of
motion without pain by applying a constant,
appropriate low load prolonged stretch (LLPS).
1.2. Customer information
For your own safety please read through these
User Instructions carefully and accurately
before using the brace. The instructions, notes
and procedures must be read and understood
thoroughly in order to benefit from the correct
operation and use of the device. If anything
in the User Instructions is not clear, or any
instructions, operating procedures or safety
information is not fully understandable, please
contact the appropriate specialist retailer or
albrecht GmbH directly, before you use the
brace. This particularly applies to the safety
instructions.
