Risk of potentially falling due to the loosened waist belt!
If the device is used frequently, Velcro on the waist belt may lose its adhesion. If the patient wears the thigh
support strap loosely during rehabilitation, this may result in the patient having difficulty balancing, and
potentially falling.

Check whether the waist belt is fastened before walking.
Risk of potentially falling due to loosening the thigh support frame during walking!
When the therapist attaches the thigh support frames loosely, the thigh support frames may be disconnected
during walking. This may result in the patient having difficulty balancing, and potentially falling.
‐
Make sure that the thigh support frame fastening hook is securely fastened before walking. (Check
whether the release button had popped out and also try pulling out the thigh support frame)
① Open the waist belt and place the device around the wearer's waist.
② Position the device such that the center of the actuator coincides with the wearer's hip joint.
③ Fasten the waist belt using the Velcro.
④ Use the extension belt if the length of the waist belt is too short.
⑤ Attach both thigh support frames.
