completely (Fig. 15), and the 50S8 Malleo TriStep is used as a soft orthosis
in this therapy stage. Depending on the patient's feeling of stability and
corresponding recommendation by the physician, the stabilizing strap and
stabilizing elements on the sides can additionally be applied.

come directly into contact with the skin can cause functional and hygienic
risks if the orthosis is used by another person.
