How to use Infant Forefoot Orthosis Bebax Shoes?

1. Use the Allen wrench provided to loosen the two swivel joints and adjust the hind foot and forefoot in relation to one another.
   Note: Adjust the forefoot position so that it is opposite of the diagnosed deformity. If the deformity in any direction is too severe, make corrections in several intervals, allowing 5–7 days between each step.
2. Use the Allen wrench to carefully tighten the swivel joints to lock the orthosis in the desired position. Adjusting the alignment.
   Note: Do not over tighten the screws. Excessive tightening can damage the joint assembly.
3. Make a slit at the toe portion of a thin cotton sock and place it on the patient’s foot. The slit should be large enough to view the patient’s toes.
4. Place the patient’s foot into the orthosis so that the heel is firmly placed to the back of the Bebax.
5. Verify that the orthosis is properly positioned for the desired correction and for the correct foot.
   Note: Left and right models are determined by the strap orientation. Straps should always fasten towards the lateral side.
6. While firmly holding the foot in place, close the straps so they are snug.
   • For smaller sizes (7.5 cm–10 cm); fasten the proximal ankle strap first followed by the distal toe strap.
   • For larger sizes (10.5 cm–13.5 cm); fasten the middle leather strap through the slit first, followed by the proximal ankle strap and then the distal toe strap.
7. Check the patient’s toes for signs of excessive compression. If the toes are very blue or white, wait a few minutes to see if they return to normal color. Adjust the strap tightness if necessary.
