Remove the padding liner and position the wedges provided to set the therapeutically necessary
equinus position in the footrest. One wedge segment is equivalent to an elevation of approx.
10 mm. Not all wedge segments must be used. For final positioning, the individual segments can be fixed
using the attached adhesive points. The wedge height can be adapted to the course of therapy. Finally,
position the padding liner back in the footrest.

Open the padding liner and place the foot and lower leg in the Walker. Pay attention to good heel
positioning, it should be placed securely in the very back of the heel rest. The padding liner is
then closed on the foot and in the lower leg region using the Velcro fastener, pay attention to it sitting
crease-free.
Information for the technician:
Setting the foot length:
If required, the foot length can be adapted to the patient's circumstances by moving the front binding.
For this purpose, the front binding is raised and pulled upwards gently to disengage it.
Following this, it can be moved and be locked in the desired position by pressing it downwards gently.

Then, adapt the grey front cover again centrally on the padding liner. The valve at the upper end
should be freely accessible.
Close the four circumferential Velcro fasteners in the order specified below:
1. Start with the fastener on the ankle joint
2. Close the fastener close to the ankle on the lower leg
3. Close the strap in the metatarsus/toe region
4. Finally, the lower leg fastener close to the knee
If necessary, re-tighten again.

If necessary, remove the protective cap from the valve and slide the blue valve slider
downwards. Place the vacuum pump provided on the valve. In order to draw the air out of
the liner and generate the vacuum, now pump several times until the pump no longer jumps back. Finally,
remove the pump from the valve and re-attach the protective cap.
You should now feel surface stabilisation in the lower leg and foot region. If necessary, re-tighten the
fastening straps again.
Tip: To ensure a good fit, we recommend that you pay attention to even distribution of the filling, which
consists of a large number of small balls. By fluffing up the padding liner before putting the brace on or
smoothing out the filling with your hand, you can achieve even distribution of the filling and optimise its fit.
