TCL OPT-TLCUSM Universal Hip Abduction Management System
The following are general guidelines for wearing and caring for your hip abduction brace. Your doctor ( or health care practitioner) may alter, supersede, or oppose some of them. He or she knows your medical status and is using the hip abduction brace as one part of your total care. It is important to follow his or her instructions exactly, even if they differ from some of the following guidelines.
Option 2: SITTING DOWN
- Come to a full sitting position at the side edge of the bed.
- Open all buckles at the waist band and thigh cuff.
- Slide the waist band around your back and center it on your waist with the opening facing forward.
- Align the brace joint with your hip joint and fasten the buckles at the waist band to keep in place.
- Slightly raise the leg on the side of the leg extension over and into the thigh cuff and fasten the buckles.
- Stand up at the side of the bed and ensure that the center of the brace joint aligns with your hip joint.
- If the brace joint is not aligned over your hip joint, carefully loosen all buckles, realign brace joint over your hip and refasten buckles to a snug fit.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove your brace only if allowed by your health care practitioner.
- If brace can be removed, wash plastic and padding by hand with mild soap and cool water. Air dry.
- Change and wash I-shirt or orthopedic body sock worn under brace.
- While wearing brace, keep buckles fastened snugly as advised by your health care practitioner.
It is not uncommon for your body to change sizes because of reduction in post
surgical swelling. If you change size so that you can no longer adjust the
buckles enough, consult your doctor or health care practitioner.
Always wear a I-shirt or orthopedic body sock under your hip abduction brace
for overall comfort and ease of movement.
