Set up :
A fitting is mandatory for adaptation and a good understanding of the fitting. The first fitting will be carried out by a healthcare professional and later by a person close to the patient according to the same protocol.

During the fitting, the fitter will have to conform the dorsal boning of the orthosis to adapt it to the patient's morphology. The belt will be worn over underwear or light clothing.
