REGULATIONS
d
This article is defined as a class I medical device. A
Risk Analysis (UNE EN ISO 14971) has been carried out,
minimising the existing risks. Tests have been in accord-
ance with European Regulation UNE-EN ISO 22523 on
Prostheses and Orthoses.
INDICATIONS

as a result of neurological injuries, congenital altera-
tions or muscular disorders.
⋅ Flaccid paralysis associated with hemiparesis.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
For best therapeutic results considering different pathol-
ogies and to extend the useful life of the product, it is es-
sential to choose the correct size for each patient or user.
Excessive compression may be intolerable; adjusting the
compression to be firm yet comfortable is recommended.
If the product must be adapted, any such adjustments
must be done by an orthopaedic specialist or healthcare
professional legally certified to do so who must make sure
the end user or person responsible for fitting the product
properly understands how it works and should be used.
When fitting the product, you must adhere to the
following instructions:
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 se-
cure 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 clo-
sure 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 adapted 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 short-
est one along with the longest and narrowest 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.
