OPENING THE CLIPS

- when brace is on the leg.

1. Place the top of you finger behind the flap of the clip.

2. Open the clip entirely until it is in line with the rest.

3. Grab the clip between thumb and index finger and twist the clip

to disconnect.

During standing up while wearing the UTX-SWING orthosis, most support must be gained from the unaffected side. Put the foot just below

the seat of the chair, so that most of the weight rests on that leg. Press yourself diagonally up. Once in position, properly extend the knee of

the leg with the orthosis until the hinge is locked (you will hear a click). Now you get support from the orthosis and a safe situation is created.

It is important that you are sure that the orthosis hinge is locked. If this is not the case, you can use your hand to push the knee even further

back, so that the hinge will get locked. In rare cases it is advisable though to stretch the leg and lock the hinge before you get up.

To be able to sit down with the UTX SWING orthosis, the knee hinge must be unlocked. Unlocking is done in the same way as when walking:

make a (small) step with the other leg whereby the ankle is sufficiently brought in dorsiflexion (lower leg tilted to the front relative to the

foot) and extend the knee. The orthosis is now unlocked and the knee can be bent.

To sit down with the UTX-STABIL orthosis the knee hinge must be unlocked manually. Extend the knee, push the button at the top of the

orthosis and bend the knee. If the knee is not extended, the orthosis will not unlock. This means that the orthosis can only be unlocked

consciously. It will never happen by accident.
