Risk of serious injury to the patient due to excessive tightening!
Excessive tightening may cause discomfort, skin pressure/friction, bruising, pain, or unusual swelling caused by
the exoskeleton which has the potential to lead to skin breakdown or abrasions.
‐
When putting on the device, the thigh support straps should be fitted with the knees slightly bent to avoid
excessive tightening or pressing.
‐
The therapist should check for discomfort and check the skin pressure of the patient.
Risk of falling due to broken buckle!
If you insert the buckle while pulling sideways, the buckle may be broken. This may result in the patient having
difficulty balancing, and potentially falling.
‐
When inserting the buckle into the hook, insert it while tilting it by 90 degrees and pull the strap out
perpendicular to the surface of the leg.
Risk of injury due to the straps unfastened during walking!
If the straps are not securely fastened to the buckles, the straps may become unfastened during walking. This
may result in the patient having difficulty balancing.
‐
Be sure to connect the straps with the buckles securely and to make sure that the buckles are securely
connected with the thigh support frame.
