- Record the patient's name on the ID label.
- Release all hook and loop closures.
- Gently lower the patient's foot into the protector.
- Attach the calf straps to the opposing side. The straps should be applied securely to ensure that the protector cannot be easily removed from the patient's lower leg.
- For foot drop control, criss-cross the upper straps over the patient's foot and secure them to the top and sides of the protector or down the side.
- Use two fingers to ensure there is adequate clearance between the straps and the patient's foot, and that they are not overtightened.
- Place fingers through the heel opening to ensure that the heel is properly isolated. Adjust straps if necessary.
- Securely attach hook side of the wedge to either side of the PRO-heeLx to prevent lateral foot and leg rotation.
