Fastening the strap
The fastening of the strap is meant to be performed with one hand
although if the other hand is functional, it is easier to use both hands.
1.
With the orthosis in place as in Figure 7, carefully grasp the
handle of the elastic belt with the fingers of the
opposite
hand. In
Figure the orthosis is on the right leg, so the handle is grasped
by the left hand.

2.
Placing your thumb on the cradle, hold the orthosis in place while
you pull the handle toward the cradle and position it around the
cradle.
