Upper Limb Orthosis Kids

• After shoulder dislocation
• Postoperative treatment of the shoulder area

The Upper Limb Orthosis Fix of “Orthoteh” provides a stable and comfortable immobilisation of the shoulder and shoulder girdle. It therefore reduces movement-induced pain. The traumatized area is allowed to rest, speeding up the healing process. Each element of the orthosis can be individually adapted for maximum comfort. The materials are carefully selected for a pleasurable feel against the skin. The main details are lined with cotton fabric. The lightweight design of the construction is appropriate for any physical condition.

1. Fix the lumbar part of the orthosis in place under chest level. Bend the upper limb in the elbow and attach it to the torso. Fix the wrist strap in place.
2. Fix the strap enveloping the limb above the elbow in place. Lightly press the elbow towards the lumbar part. This should attach the upper arm part to the lumbar part of the orthosis.
3. The upper arm strap has a narrow belt sewn to it. Stretch it and attach it to the lumbar part of the orthosis.
4. Attach the shoulder strap to the back of the lumbar part and put it over the traumatised shoulder. Slip the shoulder strap through the buckle which is attached to the wrist strap. Tighten it as much as necessary and attach it.
