More On Breg Lo Top Walker Boot

• Instructions for Use:
  - Apply The Calf Wrap
  • If a regular cuff is used, apply the sock
  • If a "Bootie" was ordered, slip the foot into the bootie with the toes under the toe piece
  • Close the forefoot cover over the foot
  • Wrap the calf section around the leg
  • Trim the excess, leaving 2"-3" (5cm-7.5cm) overlap
  • Close the hook-to-pile fastener at the front
  • Make sure the posterior plate is centered on the calf
  • The bootie may be removed with scissors if too warm
  - Center the posterior plate on the calf with the upper edge of the wrap just below the kneecap
  - Trim the excess, leaving 2"-3" (5cm-7.5cm) overlap
  - Wrap the cuff around to the front and close the hook-to-pile fastener
• - Slip the foot into the boot with the plastic covers over the uprights to prevent engagement of the hook-to-pile fastener
  - Check the placement and pressure of the pads over the ankle
  - Remove or reposition the pads as needed to achieve proper fit and comfort at the ankle
  - Bend and curve the boot uprights to fit the sides of the calf
  - Align the uprights with the leg and remove the plastic covers to engage the hook-to-pile fasteners
  - If a regular or "winged" tibial fracture plate was ordered, apply the plate into position on the shin
  - The proper position of the winged plate is with the top of the plate, 1" (2.5cm) above the wrap

• Note:
  - The upper 3" (8cm) of the medial upright should be bent medially to fit the flair of the Tibial Condyle. Do not use the tibial plates with the Breg Lo-Top Boot.
  - Fasten Straps
  •   If the "Cuff" is used, place the dorsal pad over the forefoot and fasten the straps
  • Adjust the heel strap and pad for comfort
  • The double sided hook pieces may be repositioned and the excess strap trimmed
  • Lightly fasten the top half-strap on the Hi-Top Boot (the Lo-Top Boot does not have this strap) and check the position of the foot and ankle. If a Hinge and Thigh Attachment was ordered, apply it at this time
  - Starting at the ankle, wrap the strap ends securely forward around the sides of the leg to interlock the straps with the uprights
  - Trim the excess strap and reposition the double hook piece if necessary
  - Fasten the straps through the D-rings at the front of the leg
  - Retighten the top half-strap on the Hi-Top Boot if a winged tibial plate was used to achieve PTB capability
