ANKLE STRAP

D-RING

ELASTIC BAND

HOOK

Mounting

The ankle strap is placed on top of the user’s sock (not directly on the skin). The opening and tightening function is managed with two Velcro straps. The elastic band is tied to the D-ring and to the hooks, which are attached to shoelace holes. The distance between the D-ring and the hooks determines the lifting ability of the elastic band. Please try out which shoelace holes are to be used for achieving the desired function.

Precautions and Care

Check that the parts are correctly mounted. The elastic band has a seam, which should be placed in the middle of the knot at the D-ring. Any other positioning may lead to premature breakage of the elastic band.

Do not expose the elastic band to direct sunlight, since this will shorten its life. The elastic band is also subject to wear and should be replaced when necessary, or at least once every three months. Always keep a spare elastic band. Spare elastic bands should be kept in a dark and cool place.

The ankle strap must be cleaned with a damp cloth only. No other cleaner is to be used. The user should always check that the D-ring, Velcro and fastening hooks are always in good condition. If the elastic band or any other part breaks of comes loose, the foot can no longer be in the upright posi-tion. Then there is the risk the user may fall.
