How to choose the size?

If you need a tutor, the on-site specialist will make the necessary measurements. In this case it is risky and useless to engage in amateur activities.

But there are times when you need to choose the size of the lock. For example, if a child has grown up, or because of damage to the previous device.

To find the correct size for the ankle joint, it is necessary to measure the circumference of the lifting of the foot using a centimeter measuring tape.

And then on the existing tables of matching find your own size.

If you select a lock individually, then you do not need to worry about any possible size mismatch.

So, when making a product from turbo-kasta, the measurements are carried out directly with the patient, straightening his leg so that from the knee to the ankle she was in a free position.

Then take the material, heat it to 60-100 degrees, but due to the features of the turbo-ballast, it cools quickly, and after a while its temperature becomes 35-40 degrees.

In this condition, it is very plastic, and then make the device, modeling directly on the foot of the client.

The correct way to install

The process of correctly fitting the tutor depends on the degree of your illness or injury. But first you need to perform a number of hygiene procedures.

Before dressing:

• massage the ankle, take a warm bath;
• put on cotton golf without seams.

After completion of the wearing procedure:

• reddened area of ​​skin wash with water, dry with a clean clean towel;
• wipe them with ant or camphor alcohol.

Remember that during use of tutors, it is not recommended to use lotions for body, cream and ointment.

If you have a mild degree of disease, the process of putting on looks like this:

• standing, rolling from the toe to the heel first with the support, and then without it;
• gradual flexion in the ankle and knee joints.

Remember that if you feel the pulling pains on the ankle, touching the tutor, you need to remove the upper sleeve from the device, work the foot, and then put it on again.

With an average degree of disease:

• the product is worn with a bent knee;
• first thing to do is fix the shank of the shank, then work the knee and, with its straightened out position, put on the upper sleeve.

With this form, you can bend the ankle, knee and hip joints, stand and walk. The course of treatment - from 10 days, the time of use depends on the day of the course.

If you are overtaken by a severe disease, then the procedure for dressing the tutor is the same as in the previous case, but you can stand and walk with support only.

The course of treatment should be agreed with the doctor. Do not forget to do ankle massage in the interruptions of wearing the latch, perform exercises to relax the muscles and take care of the skin in contact with the device.

When these conditions are met, the use of the product will not bring so much discomfort, especially if the patient is a child.
