Foot drop system innoSTEP-WL – Applying the cuff

Applying the cuff on the leg

The foot drop system innoSTEP-WL basically constits of a stimulation unit and a cuff, which is attached below the knee on the affected leg.
The cuff with the intrgrated tissue electrodes allows an extensive stimulation of peroneal nerve and shin muscle, while offering high wearing comfort.
 
Applying the cuff on the leg ist very easy:

• Before applying the cuff, use the water atomizer to moisten the tissue electrodes troughoutly, in order to ensure the conductivity. Spread the water carefully with your fingers.
• Sit down while applying the cuff. It should be placed below the knee of the affected leg and adjusted to the shinbone.
• The yellow position mark on the upper edge should point to the middle of the kneecap.
• Close the magnetic enclosure of the cuff - this is also possible singlehandedly.
• Use the velcro fastener to adjust the width of the cuff. It should sit tight on the leg, without cutting in.
• When detaching the innoSTEP-WL from the leg, you should let it dry before storing it in the device case.
