FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR'S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to
prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each
patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent
in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that the
compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
Using an interface (i.e. a sock) is recommended.
A- ADJUSTING THE PERIMETER
A.1-The product can be adapted to a specific ankle perimeter by adjusting the part containing the
elastic guide (pin).
A.2-Depending on the patient's ankle perimeter in the malleolus area, position this part between
the first and last of the 4 holes on the supramalleolar part. See the following table for guidance:

B- SECURING THE HOOKS
B.1-If using the anti-slip part with a hook, until the laces on the footwear and position it between
the shoe tongue and laces so it is centred. Secure the lower micro-hook by holding the laces.
B.2-If using the "S" hooks, you must insert them in the eyelets with the longest part inside the shoe.
The elastic traction strap must go through both hooks.
C- ADAPTING THE SUPRAMALLEOLAR PART
C.1-Open the supramalleolar part until you hear a click; the part will be flat.
C.2-Position the supramalleolar part in the back of the ankle so it coincides with the centre of the
silicone pad against the Achilles tendon.
C.3-Press the ends of the part toward the leg until you hear a click which unlocks the part to be
wrapped around the ankle.
C.4-Secure the tip of the widest micro-hook so the buckle is between the 2 narrowest straps.
C.5-Pull and secure the narrowest straps.
C.6-Insert the elastic traction band through the guide (pin) on the front.
C.7-Secure the elastic band to the hook (or hooks) and pull on the ends with the micro-hook and
then secure them to get the desired traction.
D- FITTING THE INNER STRIP Ref.: AB12/AB22
D.1-Secure the strip in the middle of the foot with the Velcro closures in the instep. Make sure the
closure hook is in the right direction. Then, insert the elastic traction band through the guide
on the front of the supramalleolar part. Secure it to the hook and pull on the ends to get the
desired traction.
E- INSERTING THE SHIN SUPPORT Ref.AB14/AB24
E.1-The shin support must correspond to the size of the Boxia AB100, after being previously adapt-
ed and checked for the patient.
E.2-Secure using the micro-hook on the inside and front of the supramalleolar part.
E.3-The "Y"-shaped shin support has 3 ends. The shortest one along with the longest and narrow-
est will hug the shin at the height of the top of the fibula. The remaining end will go over the front
of the tibia to be secured to the supramalleolar part on the inside.
