Components of the serial orthosis are shown below, labelled to show measurements.
 
To create a custom ADA Flex Serial Elbow Orthosis.
1) Measure from mid-upperarm to mid-forearm in fullest possible extension position. This measurement is the Side Bar length ("L").
2) Each elbow Orthosis requires a forearm (distal) and an upper arm (proximal)
cuff, based on the measurements of "B" and "A" respectively.
3) The Orthosis is supplied fully assembled with the appropriate size of elbow pad.
