To properly wear the OPTECH Hip Abduction Orthosis, follow these steps:
1. Lay on your back on a flat surface, such as your bed.
2. Roll slightly to one side while keeping your leg abducted (in an outward position).
3. Slip the orthosis under your body, ensuring that all components are in the proper position.
4. Adjust the thigh cuff to be as high as you can tolerate, but never cross the knee.
5. Position the hip joint on the side of the affected hip, making sure it is not tilted to the front or back.
6. Place the pelvic section between the pelvic bones and the waist, avoiding any impingement on the ribs or the bend of the hip.
7. Tighten the Velcro straps to secure the orthosis in place.
Note: The orthosis should be worn at all times except for bathing. It is recommended to use a cotton material interface between the orthosis and your skin for comfort, perspiration absorption, and air ventilation.
