(click on images to enlarge)
|
|
Prior to the casting, the appropriate pads from
the kit are determined and laid out on the table.
|
|
|
The patient is then situated appropriately and the kit is applied. |
|
|
After the kit has been applied, allow visco elastic effect to occur, then readjust the kit and record strap tensions. |
 |
The straps are then released and creation of the cast begins. |
 |
The cast is created with layers of plaster of
paris, and then the straps are reapplied in order to keep the correction.
|
 |
After the front of the patient is completed and
the plaster has set, the patient is rolled over and the back side
of the cast is applied.
|
 |
After the back has been completed and the plaster
has hardened, the cast is then removed. It will later be used to
form a positive mold which the brace can be formed with.
