Apply the groin restraints by extending the male end of the
restraint and pulling it through the inside of the patient's legs
(Figure 47A).
Before fastening the “Cobra” buckle, the thigh padding with
Velcro fastener (Figure 47B) can be attached to the restraint,
making sure to move it close to the patient's inner thigh for
greater comfort.

WARNING
It should be borne in mind that the bent lower
limb, at the level of the thigh, tends to be larger
in circumference than with the limb extended.
Therefore, once the thigh straps have been correctly
applied, make sure that the board has been applied
in such a way as to support the entire spine up to
the base of the coccyx and that the restraints are
well tensioned so that the patient remains in the
correct position on the XT board before proceeding
with lifting and verticalisation.
Then fasten the restraint, bringing the male end towards the
patient's hip and closing the buckle in accordance with the
colour code (Figure 47C).
Make sure to tension the restraint well before strapping the
other leg.
Apply the second groin restraint following the same
procedure (Figure 48).
