Fitting a clavicle brace involves placing it correctly to support the collarbone and promote healing. Here's how it's typically done:
-
Position the Round Ring: Place the round ring of the brace between your shoulder blades.
-
Pass the Shoulder Straps: Bring the shoulder straps forward, over your shoulders.
-
Ensure Proper Padding: Make sure the soft padding of the straps is positioned directly over your clavicle (collarbone). This provides cushioning and support.
-
Thread Through the Ring: Take the shoulder straps and pass them through the ring located on your back.
-
Adjust and Secure: Pull the straps to tighten and adjust the brace until it provides comfortable but firm support. Secure the straps, typically with Velcro closures.
