Setting external rotation on the 50A11 Omo Immobil Rotation
To mount the external rotation elements (29A222), remove the hook and loop
closure that connects the upper and forearm pads so that the forearm pad can
be pulled off the tube frame (Fig. 5). Remove the locking pins, then pull off the
forearm element and replace it with the desired external rotation element (Fig.
6). External rotation can be set to 10°, 20° or 30°, as desired. Fasten the tube
frame using the locking pins and cover it with the forearm pad. Reconnect the
forearm and upper arm pads with the hook and loop closure.
2.2.2 Applying the product
INFORMATION
The orthosis should be applied and removed by two people in
order to keep the patient’s arm carefully and safely in place. The patient’s
elbow should be angled.
1. Open the shoulder strap closure as well as the closures of the waist belt
and arm straps.
2. Position the orthosis under the arm, pull it up onto the torso and place the
shoulder strap diagonally over the contralateral (healthy) side (Fig. 8). Posi-
tion the shoulder pad (fastened to the shoulder strap) directly on the patient’s
neck (trapezius muscle). Guide the strap through the narrow return loop on
the torso component and fasten the hook and loop closure (Fig. 8). The return
loop is attached to the orthosis with a hook and loop patch that allows the
position of the loop to be adjusted for individual adaptation to the patient.
3. Guide the waist belt through the return loop and close it (Fig. 9). The height
of the waist belt that is attached to the orthosis with a hook and loop patch
can be adjusted to the patient.
4. Correctly position the hand pad that is attached to the orthosis with a hook
and loop patch as well (Fig. 9). Next, close the forearm straps, followed by
the upper arm strap (Fig. 10). The direction for closing the arm straps can
be chosen as desired (from the inside to the outside or from the outside to
the inside). To ensure that the upper arm is held rmly in place in the orthosis,
the included additional strap may also be used (Fig. 11).
INFORMATION If necessary (e.g., for adipose patients), the included additional
straps can be used for relieving the pressure on the shoulder and neck region.
Use the hook strips on the shoulder pad to fasten the strap. Cross the straps
and attach them to the waist belt using the double-sided hook strips. Shorten
the straps if necessary (Fig. 12).
