system joint can only be mounted bilaterally.
Unilateral Construction

2 Apply LOCTITE® 638 high strength to the shoulder of the lever extension and
connect it with the locking pawl (fig. 30).
Bilateral Construction
1 Adapt the lever extensions to the shape of the orthosis.
2 Connect the lever extensions at a distance of approx. 1mm by means of the con-
necting tube for lever extension (fig. 31).
3 Apply LOCTITE® 638 high strength to the shoulders of the lever extensions and
connect them with the locking pawls (fig. 30).
The adhesion is sturdy after approx. 1 hour. It has completely hardened after approx.
24 hours (at room temperature).
