Application Instructions:

The Shoulder Cradle™ is used during daily activities and while sleeping. This universal brace

can be applied to the right or left side of the patient. The Shoulder Cradle, Small hip Bolster,

and Wrist Support are packaged together in a poly Bag and are the standard functional

elements for support and setting abductionin 15 degrees. Various other abduction angles of

30 to 90 degrees may be set using the Medium and large Bolsters. See instructions below to

reconfigure the device for greater abduction using these components.

STANDARD USE:

1) Remove Shoulder Cradle, hip Bolster and Wrist Bolster from poly bag. Open Forearm Straps

and Upper Arm Strap and insert arm into the Cradle with forearm resting in the longer

section. Close all three straps comfortably around arm.

2) Position the small hip Bolster (e) on the affected side, between body and the Cradle with the

curved side of bolster and tacky surface against the body at waist level, just above the hip.

The brace is universal and can be applied to the right or left arm. Align the Velcro patch on

the hip Bolster with the Cradle and engage the bolster on or just below the forearm strap.

The hip Bolster may be secured to Cradle at this time by releasing the Waist Strap on the

back of the Cradle and threading Waist strap through the belt loop on the hip Bolster.

Thread the Waist Strap back through the D-ring on back of Cradle and secure.

3) Pull the Waist Strap around back of body guide strap through the belt loop on front of hip

Bolster and connect the Waist Strap buckle to the recipient buckle on the Cradle. The hip

Bolster should be resting at waist level just above the hip. NOTE: The pad on the Waist Strap

should rest just above the opposite hip. If necessary, the Waist Strap can be shortened by

removing the hook Y-Clip closure from the strap, shorten the strap and re-attach the closure.

4) Adjust the tension of the Waist Strap for comfort and to fit the desired position of shoulder.

The Waist Strap should be snug enough to compress the Small Bolster slightly. If indicated or

necessary, the included Shoulder Strap may also be used. Attach one end of the Shoulder

strap to the back of the Cradle at the bicep area. Bring shoulder strap over top of unaffected

shoulder and attach Velcro strip under forearm area of Cradle.

5) The Wrist Bolster may be used for added support of the wrist and hand. Place the Wrist

Bolster, with the round end resting in palm of hand, between the hand and the Cradle.

Secure the Wrist strap.

NIGHTTIME (SLEEPING) USE:

The Shoulder Cradle is designed to provide proper support and comfort while sleeping. The

Medium (H) and large Bolsters (I) shipped with the product can be temporarily attached

(if not in use for abduction) while you are lying down. The Small hip Bolster and the Waist

Strap should remain in place while sleeping.

6) Sleeping on your back: Attach the wedge-shaped Medium Bolster to the back of the upper

arm portion of the Cradle. The Velcro® strip on the bolster will adhere to the back of the

Cradle. The smaller end of the wedge should be closest to the shoulder. You may adjust the

height of the arm by moving the Bolster backwards or forwards.

7) Sleeping on your side: Place the block-shaped Large Bolster comfortably against your

stomach. Place the removable Velcro® strip along the top of the Large Bolster and secure

the Cradle on top of the Velcro® strip. Ensure your hand rests comfortably against the top

surface of the Bolster and your skin is not contacting the Velcro®. Release one end of the

Wrist Strap (end closest to body) and secure to top of Bolster.
