5.7.2. Check for any discomfort while walking
① Before turning the device on, make the wearer walk around to check for any discomfort. If there is discomfort,
reposition the device or try donning the device again. You may need to readjust the width of the waist part or
the waist belt tightness.
② Confirm with the patient that there is no pinching of the skin. If the patient is comfortable then the
measurement is acceptable.
③ Check if the greater trochanter area is making contact with the hard surface of the device. This could cause
discomfort after walking for some time. If this is the case, the device width may need to be widened.
④ Avoid wearing the device with short pants where the skin is exposed to the thigh support strap area. When
walking a long time, this could cause skin chafing.
