5. Begin gradually pumping air into the cylinder until the recommended
amount of traction force has been reached. Some individuals will feel relief
immediately at their hip while others will feel changes as treatment periods
accumulate. Monitor the hand pump gauge making sure never to exceed
the amount of traction force prescribed by your health care provider. It
is normal for you to sense some slight slipping of your ankle within the
binding. This is okay as long as you are comfortable and you are obtaining
the prescribed amount of traction.
6. Stop pumping when the recommended amount of traction force has been
attained, the hand pump will hold the pressure automatically.
NOTE: If traction force reading drops, it was probably caused by body
movement, repositioning, or unit movement. To correct, slowly pump
back to the desired traction force reading and relax.
NOTE: Should you pump beyond your recommended traction force,
depress and hold the air-release button immediately until desired
amount is obtained.
7. After you have reached your recommended traction force begin timing
your traction treatment as prescribed by your health care provider.
8. After the traction treatment is complete, press the release button to release
the traction.
9. Relax for a couple of minutes before removing your leg from the HipTrac.
10. To disconnect the binding from the slide carriage, first remove foam pad
from between your buttocks and HipTrac. Then use pull strap to pull
HipTrac towards your buttocks while bending your knee slightly. Maintain
pressure towards you with the pull strap as you simply straighten your
knee and the hook should easily lift right out of the HipTrac. Once out,
you can rest your heel on the HipTrac for a few minutes if needed and
eventually roll away from the HipTrac.
NOTE: In an emergency, fully depress and hold the air-release button
until traction is in neutral position.
