Attaching the joint brace to the hip holder (fi g. G):
- Attach using the supplied screws, do not tighten the screws.
- Align the fl exion-extension joint in such a way that the centre point is positioned
at the head of the femur neck (to align exactly use the Trochanter major as a
reference point). Then tighten both fi xing screws on the hip holder.
4
Attaching the thigh holder:
- The bracket for the joint brace must be on the side.
- Ensure that the thigh holder is in a medial position on the condyle
and the gap proximal to the bar is at least three to four fi ngers.
- Close the thigh holder using the appropriate Velcro
to the correct length (fi g. H). If necessary, cut off any protruding parts and carefully
seal the edge using a small fl ame (cigarette lighter).
- Align the bracket for the joint brace in accordance with the joint brace. Secure
the brace at the thigh holder using the two supplied screws. Tighten the screws (fi g. I).
5
Setting the adduction/abduction (fi g. I):
- Bring the extremity to the abduction or adduction position as prescribed by the doctor.
- In order to secure the required position, tighten the screw for
the adduction/abduction joint.
Caution: If the brace is fi tted to a bedridden patient, we recommend setting the hip holder as follows:
1. Measure the length of the rear waist circumference (between the centre lines of the hips);
2. Loosen the four screws of the lumbar clips of the hip holder (but do not remove fully). Set the hip
holder in such a way that the gap (measured on the exterior circumference) between the bracket for
the joint brace and the centre point of the opposite pelvic half is equal to half of the waist circumference
of the patient, increased by 3-4 cm. Tighten the screws of the lumbar clips. Use the notches on the
connecting strap to centre it;
3. The angling of the lateral cups of the hip holder opposite the connecting strap must be determined by
eye until the patient is able to stand up again.
