Tips
Ask your clinician to mark the straps for
the recommended stretch. (see fi g. 1)
Establish a proper break-in schedule
before tightening the stretching straps.
Build up the wearing time and amount
of stretch slowly. The most common
pitfall is to over-stretch too quickly and
discourage the child from using the brace.
Wear a comfortable moisture-wicking sock.

Adjust
Adjust each strap through the
ladder lock and tighten until a
mild stretch is achieved or to
the line drawn on the strap by
your clinician.
Thread
Thread remaining strap
through tri-slide to maintain
tension and keep it in place.
