5. If the Orthosis is positioned correctly, close the extensor wing. Place your hand on top
of the wing arm and grasp under the Orthosis extensor wing with your fingers. Pull the
extensor wing out while pushing down on the wing arm. Push until no more clicking can
be heard. See Figure 6-10.
6. Check to see if the FPL #5 electrode is in contact with the radial side of the wrist. There
should be no visible gap between the forearm and the extensor wing. If there is a gap,
attach and tighten the wrist strap.
Note: Do not pinch the wing release handle while closing the wing.
Note: Position the Orthosis properly to avoid poor or unbalanced hand activation and pressure
marks around the wrist.
