poor circulation and/or skin irritation. Remove the
brace immediately if you notice any changes in skin
color or if you notice any tingling sensations, aching
or chafing feeling. Check skin on a daily basis.
1. Check that the support is complete and without
damage.
2. Position the brace so that the upper strap sits on
the head of the calf muscle. Apply the strap at an
angle from back to front as shown in the illustration.
Leave open in front.
The lower edge of the brace should be seated com-
fortably above the ankle bones.
If needed the brace can be trimmed slightly in the
upper and lower sections with scissors.
3. Adjust the tension (how much lifting affect you
need) by either (1) moving the top velcro part, or (2)
adjusting how far down the hook on the tension strap
is located on the shoe lacing.
4. Secure the strap over the pad around the leg.
Care of your NaviGAIT
When the brace is not being used, roll the plastic
