6.2.1 Test and possible exchange of the leaf springs according to the length of the
fingers:
The selected spring units are attached at designated screw points. The barb of the
spring pad ensures a stable directional adjustment of the spring. Each leaf spring has
to be adjusted to the length of the fingers. In extended position the leaf spring should
be approx. 1 cm longer than the finger (four different lengths are available which can
be exchanged when needed).
The finger loops should be close to the
DIP joints. In order to have enough sliding
range the finger loops should be close to
the proximal end of the groove in extended
position. If a different position of the finger
loop is desired the length of the spring has
to be adjusted. Loosen the attachment screw
For adjustment. The spring action can be
enhanced by a second leaf spring of the same
length is inserted into the spring unit.
6.2.2 Adjustment of the finger loops:
The opening of the finger loop should
be just that wide that the finger can glide
inside without opening the hook and loop
fastener.
The size of the opening is adjusted
once and then the remaining hook and loop
fastener should be cut off.
6.2.3 Loop cushion:
When fitting short fingers the loop
cushion should be shortened to avoid
that the loop cushion push the finger out
of the finger loop during full extension
of the finger. Please direct any questions to:
