How to Use The Ossur Foot Up AFO

• Fitting the Basic Version
  1. The Foot-Up basic version can only be positioned and used in lace-up shoes.
  2. Measure the circumference of the ankle around the malleoli.
  3. Detach the inlay from the ankle strap by pressing the button in the middle of the quick-acting closure.
  4. Apply the ankle strap with the narrow hook and loop strip at the bottom and the quick acting closure at the front. In doing this place the ankle strap above the widest part of the ankle. Fasten the ankle strap tightly, but do not constrict the ankle.
  5. Place the inlay between the tongue of the shoelaces. Then pull the elastic strap between the two lace lines. By pulling the inlay further in the direction of the front of the foot more support is provided when raising the foot. Make sure the elastic strap is also pulled between the lace lines further down the foot.
  6. Connect the ankle strap and the inlay by pushing the two parts of the quickacting closure together.
• Fitting the Shoeless Version
  1. Measure the circumference of the foot immediately behind the ball of the foot.
  2. Apply the ankle strap with the narrow hook and loop strip at the bottom and the quick acting closure at the front. In doing this place the ankle strap above the widest part of the ankle. Fasten the ankle strap tightly, but do not constrict the ankle.
  3. Place the shoeless bandage immediately behind the ball of the foot, so that the button rests on top of the foot.
  4. Connect the ankle strap and the inlay by pushing the two parts of the quick acting closure together.
