How do I put on my LSO?

There are different types of LSO closures: hook-and-eye, or Velcro overlap are the most common

1. Put on a t-shirt before putting on the device
2. Loosen up the straps
3. Center the LSO on the body so the sides are lined up with the hips
4. Tighten the straps

If you have a hook-and-eye closure, fasten the anterior part of the brace starting at the bottom, make sure the straps are tight

If you have a Velcro overlap, make sure the front of the brace is low on the stomach and the back is centered on the small of your back, make sure the straps are tight
