5. Navodila za uporabo

The Ultra CTS Ankle Brace is designed for versatility, allowing you to adapt its support level as your recovery progresses.

Acute Injury Support

For acute ankle injuries or initial stages of recovery, ensure the PerformaFit removable upright is attached. This configuration provides maximum stability and extended support above the ankle, similar to a walking boot, to limit movement and protect against further injury.

Transition to Activity Brace

As your recovery progresses and you are cleared for increased activity, the PerformaFit upright can be detached. This transforms the brace into a low-profile activity brace, offering support and protection while allowing greater freedom of movement. This transition facilitates a smoother return to daily activities and sports.
