Working With Balls & Collars
All Whitmyer Biomechanix rotational mounting balls are manufactured with a machined knurl pattern.
When the collar is tightened, the specialized hardened knurls bite into the radius to eliminate unwanted
movement.
Knurled pattern
Knurled pattern locks surfaces of ball
and collar.
Fig. 1
Fig. 3
•(Fig.1,3)Knurledballsbiteintothe
radius to eliminate unwanted movement.
•(Fig.2A,2B)Eventhoughtheknurled
balls eliminate unwanted pad movement,
the collars must be evenly tightened to
reach their full locking strength.
Universal Pad Attachment
1. Slide collar cover (B) off pad collar and over ball (C).
2. Loosen collar bolts (A). Loosen the collar bolts only to the point where the ball slides in. This is easier
than taking the collar halves completely apart.
3. Clamp collar evenly on ball (C). See page 11.
4. Slide collar cover onto collar.

Lateral Facial Components (LFC’s) are designed to assist in supporting the head laterally to help your
clientmaintainaverticalalignmentwhenlateraldeviationispresentorforlow-proleswitchaccess.
UseabilateralcongurationtoinhibitAsymmetricaltonicneckreex(ATNR)byplacingthepadsina
position that will counteract the rotation that is occurring. Carefully place the pad(s) in a position that will
evenly distribute the pressure placed upon them to avoid discomfort.
Lateral Facial Pad Positioning
Familiarize yourself with the various directions of adjustment:
A. Linear adjustment
B. Height adjustment
C. Rotational adjustment
WARNING!
Avoid positioning pad(s) directly on jawbone, over ears, or in an area that will come in contact with the
user’s eyes! Should irritation develop, discontinue use immediately and contact the therapist or RTS.
