The hip bows (4) are the fixation point for the hip belt (10) that is adjustable in width and depth. The
hip belt (10) will secure the user’s pelvic and will also place the user correct in the brace relative to
the hip joints (5) turning point.
Hip joints (5) are placed at the outer of the hip bows (4), carrying each of the leg bracings. Each leg is
built up of one hip joint (5), one knee joint (12) and one ankle joint (8).
The braces (11) connecting the joints allows telescopic adjustment of the length of the brace.
At each leg of the bracing, there are two rings (6 and 13). There is one at the knee joint (12) and one
at the ankle joint (8). These are the connection point for the snap hook (15) of the guide strap/elastic
that will run over the rollers at the front and back of the undercarriage. The height of these ring
clamps (6 and 13) can be adjusted by moving the rings to the next free hole.
Underneath the knee joint (12), there is a calf bow (7) for fixation of the user’s calf. The calf bows (7)
are equipped with straps, securing the user’s calf and are upholstered for comfort.
At each of the ankle joints (8), there is a foot steel (16). This foot steel is the bracket for assembling
the user’s shoe to the brace.
Shoe-clips (9) for fixation of the user’s shoes are attached to the foot steel (16). A wing nut (17) is
securing this shoe-clips (9) position. There are several different shoe-clips (9) to choose among. The
shoe-clip that fits to the shoes the user will prefer, will be assembled onto the shoe. The shoe-clip
will ensure that the shoe is held in the correct position while the user is standing in the NF-Walker 2
and provide an easy way of getting the feet out of the brace-system when the use of NF-Walker 2
comes to an end.
