How to Wear Breg Fixed Ankle Walker?
- Place the foot and leg inside the liner making sure the heel is firmly back against the liner
- If you find there is extra space, pads may be inserted at either side of the ankle or at the heel
- Close the liner, tightly securing the hook and loop closures from left to right making sure the larger tongue pad is positioned over the top of the foot
- Position the heel of the foot against the boot
- Brace uprights should be positioned midline over the ankle
- Determine the position of the uprights with respect to the liner
- If the upright falls on top of an overlap, the liner should be opened to allow the upright to lie underneath permitting removal of the brace without disturbing the position of the upright
- Remove the plastic sleeves from the uprights and press the uprights firmly against the liner
- Fasten closure straps around uprights and liner by alternating the direction of the top three straps until all are secured
- For the Fixed Ankle Walker Short, an optional padded strap is provided for additional padding at the ankle if desired
