Thigh Strap (Figure 8–9)
• Position Thigh Strap so that the dot on the thigh strap is positioned
over the dot on the Rotation Control Strap. Thread the slim end
through the opening, and fasten securely.
Pulley System Adjustment (Figure 10–12)
• Verify length of Pulley System strings by pulling at handles, and
attaching on Belt Arms.
• If the handles overlap, shorten strings by using the spooling system
located inside the handles.
• Fasten Pulley System so that it sits tightly and comfortably on Belt
Arms.
Trochanter Pad (optional) (Figure 13)
Apply pad when peak pressure reduction on greater trochanter is needed,
and/or to increase sealing effect on labrum.
• Position Trochanter Pad on the greater trochanter of the affected hip
by attaching it under Belt Arm.
FINAL CHECK
Verify that the brace is sitting correctly on body, with all parts accurately
positioned. Ask the patient to walk around, sit down, and stand up, to
ensure proper fit. Adjust as necessary, then proceed to cut straps and
belt arms to ideal length.
