The rough adjustment (bending) has to be performed on a non-injured limb of similar size. Fine adjustments, read–justments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis. Place the forearm with the radial side into the ready to use orthosis. Adjust the orthosis to the hand and wrist kept in physiological position. Fasten the orthosis with the bandages.
