4) Pull the strap through the strap guide loop attached to the torso section
and fasten it with the hook-and-loop. The strap guide loop is attached
with a hook-and-loop patch that allows its position to be individually
adjusted.
5) Pull the waist strap through the strap guide loop and fasten it (see
fig. 7). The height of the waist strap that is attached with a hook-and-
loop patch can be individually adjusted.
6) Position the hook-and-loop hand support appropriately (see fig. 8).
7) Fasten the forearm straps and then the upper arm strap (see fig. 9).
INFORMATION: The direction in which the arm straps are fastened
can be individually selected (from inside to outside or from out
side to inside). The optional auxiliary strap included in the scope
of delivery can be used to further immobilise the upper arm (see
fig. 10).
8) Optional: Use the enclosed straps for pressure redistribution in the area
of the shoulder and neck. Use the hook strips attached to the shoulder
pad for attachment. Shorten the straps if desired (see fig. 11).
