Настройка и применение
- Подготовьте стропу: Ensure all straps are loosened. If using the abduction pillow, attach it securely to the main sling body using the hook-and-loop fasteners.
- Расположите руку: Gently place the affected arm into the sling pouch. The elbow should be positioned snugly at the back of the sling, and the hand should rest comfortably.
- Secure the Thumb Strap: Guide your thumb through the thumb strap. Adjust the strap for a comfortable, secure fit that prevents the hand from sliding forward without restricting circulation.
- Регулировка плечевого ремня: Bring the main shoulder strap over the unaffected shoulder and across the back. Thread it through the buckle on the front of the sling and adjust the length until the arm is supported at a 90-degree angle at the elbow, with the hand slightly elevated. The sling should feel secure but not overly tight.
- Secure Waist Strap (if applicable): If your model includes a waist strap, wrap it around your torso and attach it to the sling. Adjust for a snug fit that keeps the arm and pillow (if used) close to the body, preventing unwanted movement.
- Окончательные корректировки: Check all straps for comfort and security. Ensure no pressure points are causing discomfort or restricting blood flow. The arm should feel fully supported and immobilized.
Инструкция по эксплуатации
Wearing the Ultrasling III
Once properly fitted, the Ultrasling III should be worn as directed by your healthcare professional. It is designed for continuous wear to maintain the prescribed immobilization.
Forearm Exercises
The easy-open front panel allows for controlled forearm exercises when permitted by your doctor. To perform exercises:
- Unfasten the front panel of the sling.
- Carefully remove your forearm from the sling while keeping the upper arm and shoulder immobilized.
- Perform prescribed exercises.
- Return your forearm to the sling and re-secure the front panel.
Using the Exercise Ball
The included exercise ball is intended to stimulate circulation in the hand and forearm. When permitted by your healthcare provider, gently squeeze the ball periodically throughout the day. This can help reduce swelling and maintain muscle tone in the hand.
