1.  Locate the join between the two straps on the arm cuff.  Place the join along the inside of the elbow, with the thicker part of the arm cuff on the forearm.  The 'fluffy' hook fabric should be on the outside of the strap (not against the skin).
2.  Wrap the top band around the upper arm and connect securely.
3.  Wrap the bottom, thicker, strap around the forearm securely.
4.  Ensure that the individual can flex and extend the elbow freely with the arm cuff attached.  Do not strap too tightly.
     
Arm can be strapped tightly or loosely onto tray using 'one wrap' straps or other straps bolted onto tray.  Click here for information on how to attach straps to tray.
