with the patient. Then, let go of the locking bar and let it engage. Adapt the removed upper and lower arm
cuffs again on the support modules.

The next step is the determination of the handle length. For this purpose, the Allen screws on the
aluminium splint are opened and the handle is positioned so that the brace joint is precisely at the
level of the elbow pivot point. If a lower arm is shorter or longer, the Allen screws can be positioned further
proximally or distally, using the additional thread holes in accordance with the arm length.
3
Before the aid is positioned on the patient, the scope of movement (extension and flexion) is set.
For this, the L-shaped locking blocks are opened clockwise with the finger. Then, the adjustment
pins can be individually positioned with the desired value (extension/flexion) by pushing them in. To fix the
scope of movement set, push the locking blocks back again anticlockwise and let them engage.
4
When then positioning the aid, the patient reaches for the handle with hand from the arm affected.
Initially, the patient takes hold of the upper cuff with the hand from the side not affected and wraps it
around the upper arm, creating pleasant wearing comfort and simultaneous tight fitting. The micro Velcro
provided is used here to fix the cuff. Then, the lower arm cuff is closed using the same procedure.
Information: The cuffs should sit tightly on the upper and lower arm, but not cut off the blood circulation.
5
A shoulder strap is adapted for full immobilisation of the elbow joint. It is threaded in the upper area
using a strap ring. For adaptation, it is placed over the shoulder and also threaded on the handle with
a strap ring.
Finally, the correct positioning of the brace must be checked.
Removal
Place the shoulder strap aside. Then, open the lower arm cuff first, followed by the upper arm cuff.
