By using the ankle straps feet and ankles can be comfortably
positioned. The ankle straps are passed through the rings on the foot
rest. This holds the heels against the raised heel plate at the rear of
the footrest.
The ankle straps can be adjusted and then fastened with Velcro.
The fastening should always be on the outside (91).
