APPENDIX B SAMPLE ORTHOSIS CARE AND USE SHEET

Cleaning your Orthosis: The plastic portion of your orthosis can be cleaned using soap and warm water. DO NOT wash orthosis in hot water, as it will melt. Stains can be removed from the orthosis with a scouring cleanser containing chlorine. Rinse and dry the orthosis, and be sure to dry the padding if needed. The straps and orthotic liners can be washed gently and line dried. These components need to be replaced for long-term orthosis usage. Orthosis with Attachments If your orthosis was fabricated with rubber bands or hardware to improve motion, be sure to follow the recommendations below: ● A light, steady pull is better than a hard or forceful pull. ● To achieve optimum comfort and benefit from your orthosis, the tension can be adjusted according to your therapist’s instructions. Please sign your name below to confirm your understanding of these instructions. Please retain this portion for your records. _________________________________________________________ I have been instructed in the care and use of my orthosis as described above and have been provided a copy of this information.
