Secure front panel with lower part inside brace, and upper part outside brace. Secure straps from bottom to top (Fig. 3). Tighten until snug and comfortable.
  3. Adjust Aircell Support: SP-Walker aircells are initially deflated. To inflate aircells, firmly insert the “inflate” tip of hand bulb into valve and squeeze until aircell feels snug (Fig. 4). Begin with valve on inside of leg, then valve on outside of leg. In the case of over-inflation, deflate aircells.
