muscular dystrophy thigh supports
Small - art. 2342
Medium- art. 2335
Muscular dystrophy thigh supports are used to prevent persons with weak muscle tone from slipping out of the
body support. They are often used with muscular dystrophy patients. These thigh supports can also be used with
amputees.
In order to slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support, first place the
■
thigh support in the correct position, with the longer end facing forward.
Slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support so the longer strip of Velcro
■
faces downward and the metal buckle is suspended from the inside of
the thigh.
Secure the Velcro strap to the thigh support by pulling the narrow por-
■
tion of the strap over and then under the thigh support and fastening it to
the Velcro material on the bottom side of the Velcro strap.
The thigh supports must be fitted near the upper end of the thighs, with
■
the long end facing the back of the knee. The thigh supports can be fit-
ted either on the outside or on the inside of the legs.
Pull the strap through the metal buckle and close it firmly around the
■
thigh above the knee.
