tralateral side to compensate for the sole thickness of up to 6 mm.
3) Put the brace on together with the shoe.
4) Loosen the 2 Allen head screws (see fig. 5).
5) Twist the bars until the desired correction strength is reached. In doing
so, push the bars into the brace ankle joint up to the mark and tighten
the 2 Allen head screws (torque: 6 Nm).
Optional: Optimizing straps

the ankle joint and reduce the setting of the lower leg component in case
of a non-physiological heel strike (excessive supination of the foot).
