Greetings List.
I have a very large (350# plus) woman wearing a bivalve custom TLSO. She has a great deal of difficulty getting the straps through the loops and adequately tightening it. She has tried donning it supine and erect, and has no one at home to help.
Has anyone encountered this problem? Has anyone tried a buckle and loop combination, or putting the loops very far anterior and using extra long velcro straps? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I will post replies and the outcome.
