Please try on the Masalo Cuff in a clean and dry environment and be sure to handle the product with care. We can not offer a full purchase refund<\/strong> if the cuff is used for a longer period of time or shows obvious signs of wear.<\/p>\nMeasuring and size chart<\/h3>\n
Please note that you can achieve freedom from pain only with the correct size<\/strong> Masalo Cuff.
Therefore, please measure again the exact circumference<\/strong> of the thickest part of the affected forearm (measure in relaxed state with slightly stretched arm)<\/p>\nCompare the measurement you read with our size chart.<\/p>\n
Between 25.5cm and 28.5cm both sizes are a snug fit<\/strong>, please choose size 1<\/strong> if your forearm circumference is less than 27cm<\/strong>, choose size 2<\/strong> if the circumference is 27cm or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"Size](\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/masalo_size_chart.jpg\")

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTake the cuff and open the two Velcro fasteners. Do not pull the straps completely out of the plastic eyelets if possible, however, if that happens, they can easily be passed through the eyelets again.<\/p>\n
Pull the cuff over your hand as shown in the picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPlease note:<\/strong> The forearm cuff is supposed to be located in the middle between the hand and the elbow<\/strong> and must not be placed too close to the elbow bend.
Make sure you maintain enough space in between!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"Application](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/anlegen_masalo_manschette_MED_03.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAfter finding the correct position for the forearm cuff, put the upper arm strap over your elbow and bend your arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n![\"Application](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/anlegen_masalo_manschette_MED_04_neu.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNow adjust the upper arm strap in this position so that it fits well against the upper arm when the arm is bent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you now extend your arm, the counter-traction should be noticeable. The relief is noticeably greater or lesser depending on how you vary the positioning. You should have to exert force to straighten your arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Correctly applied cuff<\/h3>\n
When the arm is extended, you will see a bulge\/curvature between the forearm cuff and the elbow<\/strong>. This tells you that the cuff is working correctly and that the tendon insertions are relieved.<\/p>\nFeel free to use our “Right\/Wrong” images<\/strong> for comparison (next chapter on this page).<\/p>\nVary the settings until you have achieved the optimum position and relief for you. You can adjust the settings at any time to suit the situation (e.g. set them a little tighter<\/strong> for activities with a bent arm<\/strong> such as working at the computer, and loosen them a little as required for other activities; please also refer to our tips in the following sections.<\/p>\nIt is recommended to wear the Masalo Cuff permanently for the first 14 days and until the injury has healed, and as regularly as possible when putting stress on the arm.<\/p>\n
Important Notice:<\/h3>\n
The arm must not be immobilized with the cuff applied and must not remain in a rest position.<\/strong>
<\/span> The arm must remain normally mobile and usable and should be moved as normally and as much as possible<\/strong>. Only when the arm is stretched\/loaded a counter-traction\/resistance should be felt.<\/p>\nIf you have any problems putting on or wearing the Masalo Cuff<\/strong>, ask your dealer for advice or contact us at:
shop@masalo.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0![\"Diagram](\"https:\/\/www.masalo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/masalo_cuff_MED_illu_relief.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCuff applied, now what?<\/h3>\n
Now you should either immediately \u2013 or within a maximum of 15-30 minutes<\/strong> – feel a significant relief<\/strong>, otherwise something is wrong.<\/p>\nIf relief does not occur, adjust the cuff correctly again, or take it off and contact us<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nPlease do not use the cuff if you are not sure you want to keep it. We cannot provide a full refund of the purchase price if the cuff is used for a longer period of time or shows signs of use.<\/p>\n
Important:<\/strong> The Masalo Cuff is a very effective bandage against epicondylitis and develops strong forces. Please use the cuff only if you have received an exact diagnosis of present epicondylitis from your physician.<\/em><\/p>\nYou can also check the function\/effect of the Masalo Cuff yourself with a small test, simply click on the “Function test” button below.<\/p>\n
Feel free to use our “Right\/Wrong” images<\/strong> for comparison (next chapter on this page).<\/p>\nIf our cuff helps you, we would be pleased to receive a small user review<\/a><\/strong> from you or a recommendation to fellow sufferers, via Facebook<\/strong><\/a>, internet forum etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWearing period<\/h3>\n
An epicondylitis may take a while to heal completely. Therefore a wearing period from 4 weeks to 6 months<\/strong> is not unusual.<\/p>\nThe more consistently you wear the cuff (at best day AND night), the more it supports the healing process.<\/p>\n
That is why we recommend the purchase of a second cuff<\/strong> so you can change it (after work, sports or washing) and thus always achieve an optimal effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDownload application guide:<\/h2>\n

The arm must not<\/strong> be immobilized<\/strong> with the cuff on; the arm must remain mobile and usable as normal<\/strong>; only when the arm is extended should a counter-traction\/resistance<\/strong> be felt.
For “intentional” loads such as work and sports, or when working with the arm bent (e.g. at the PC), it makes sense to adjust the upper arm strap a little tighter, at night and in everyday life it can be loosened.<\/p>\nCorrectly applied cuff<\/h2>\n
Please note that you can only achieve freedom from pain with the correct size<\/strong> and correctly applied cuff<\/strong>.
Check the fit of the cuff with the help of our right\/wrong photos and use the case studies and solutions described.

Forearm cuff too close to the elbow <\/strong>(arm can be stretched without effort)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Place the forearm cuff in the middle of the forearm (half between hand and elbow) and close it so that the forearm cuff cannot slide up further.
When the arm is extended, you will see a bulge between the elbow and the forearm cuff – the area of the injured tendons is relieved.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Bend the arm and close the upper arm strap so tightly that the rubber does not protrude much in the position, the cuff lies well against the skin and stretching the arm is only possible with force and a bulge is visible between the forearm cuff and the elbow.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nCase study III<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Upper arm strap is fastened too far towards the shoulders,<\/strong> thus immobilizing the arm, or strap slips off when moved several times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
The upper arm strap should sit just above the elbow bone and must not be pulled up too far. As a small guide, the cuff should reach about a 90 degree angle if the arm is also angled about 90 degrees.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nCase study IV<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
The cuff is set too tightly, <\/strong>the arm cannot be stretched to any extent and the blood circulation may be disturbed, the arm remains in a resting position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Tight settings are useful for acute pain as well as heavy, intentional exertion such as work or weight training, but these settings must be changed after the activity has ended. The arm should always be able to be stretched with effort, and blood circulation should not be permanently compromised.<\/p>\n

Please try on the Masalo Cuff in a clean and dry environment and be sure to handle the product with care. We can not offer a full purchase refund<\/strong> if the cuff is used for a longer period of time or shows obvious signs of wear.<\/p>\nMeasuring and size chart<\/h3>\n
Please note that you can achieve freedom from pain only with the correct size<\/strong> Masalo Cuff.
Therefore, please measure again the exact circumference<\/strong> of the thickest part of the affected forearm (measure in relaxed state with slightly stretched arm)<\/p>\nCompare the measurement you read with our size chart.<\/p>\n
Between 25.5cm and 28.5cm both sizes are a snug fit<\/strong>, please choose size 1<\/strong> if your forearm circumference is less than 27cm<\/strong>, choose size 2<\/strong> if the circumference is 27cm or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPutting on the cuff<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTake the cuff and open the two Velcro fasteners. Do not pull the straps completely out of the plastic eyelets if possible, however, if that happens, they can easily be passed through the eyelets again.<\/p>\n
Pull the cuff over your hand as shown in the picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSlide the cuff to about the middle of the forearm<\/strong> and close the Velcro fastener so that the forearm cuff fits snugly on the arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPosition it so that the small dot marking on the forearm cuff lines up with the middle of the elbow\/arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPlease note:<\/strong> The forearm cuff is supposed to be located in the middle between the hand and the elbow<\/strong> and must not be placed too close to the elbow bend.
Make sure you maintain enough space in between!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAfter finding the correct position for the forearm cuff, put the upper arm strap over your elbow and bend your arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNow adjust the upper arm strap in this position so that it fits well against the upper arm when the arm is bent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you now extend your arm, the counter-traction should be noticeable. The relief is noticeably greater or lesser depending on how you vary the positioning. You should have to exert force to straighten your arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Correctly applied cuff<\/h3>\n
When the arm is extended, you will see a bulge\/curvature between the forearm cuff and the elbow<\/strong>. This tells you that the cuff is working correctly and that the tendon insertions are relieved.<\/p>\nFeel free to use our “Right\/Wrong” images<\/strong> for comparison (next chapter on this page).<\/p>\nVary the settings until you have achieved the optimum position and relief for you. You can adjust the settings at any time to suit the situation (e.g. set them a little tighter<\/strong> for activities with a bent arm<\/strong> such as working at the computer, and loosen them a little as required for other activities; please also refer to our tips in the following sections.<\/p>\nIt is recommended to wear the Masalo Cuff permanently for the first 14 days and until the injury has healed, and as regularly as possible when putting stress on the arm.<\/p>\n
Important Notice:<\/h3>\n
The arm must not be immobilized with the cuff applied and must not remain in a rest position.<\/strong>
<\/span> The arm must remain normally mobile and usable and should be moved as normally and as much as possible<\/strong>. Only when the arm is stretched\/loaded a counter-traction\/resistance should be felt.<\/p>\nIf you have any problems putting on or wearing the Masalo Cuff<\/strong>, ask your dealer for advice or contact us at:
shop@masalo.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCuff applied, now what?<\/h3>\n
Now you should either immediately \u2013 or within a maximum of 15-30 minutes<\/strong> – feel a significant relief<\/strong>, otherwise something is wrong.<\/p>\nIf relief does not occur, adjust the cuff correctly again, or take it off and contact us<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nPlease do not use the cuff if you are not sure you want to keep it. We cannot provide a full refund of the purchase price if the cuff is used for a longer period of time or shows signs of use.<\/p>\n
Important:<\/strong> The Masalo Cuff is a very effective bandage against epicondylitis and develops strong forces. Please use the cuff only if you have received an exact diagnosis of present epicondylitis from your physician.<\/em><\/p>\nYou can also check the function\/effect of the Masalo Cuff yourself with a small test, simply click on the “Function test” button below.<\/p>\n
Feel free to use our “Right\/Wrong” images<\/strong> for comparison (next chapter on this page).<\/p>\nIf our cuff helps you, we would be pleased to receive a small user review<\/a><\/strong> from you or a recommendation to fellow sufferers, via Facebook<\/strong><\/a>, internet forum etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWearing period<\/h3>\n
An epicondylitis may take a while to heal completely. Therefore a wearing period from 4 weeks to 6 months<\/strong> is not unusual.<\/p>\nThe more consistently you wear the cuff (at best day AND night), the more it supports the healing process.<\/p>\n
That is why we recommend the purchase of a second cuff<\/strong> so you can change it (after work, sports or washing) and thus always achieve an optimal effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDownload application guide:<\/h2>\n

The arm must not<\/strong> be immobilized<\/strong> with the cuff on; the arm must remain mobile and usable as normal<\/strong>; only when the arm is extended should a counter-traction\/resistance<\/strong> be felt.
For “intentional” loads such as work and sports, or when working with the arm bent (e.g. at the PC), it makes sense to adjust the upper arm strap a little tighter, at night and in everyday life it can be loosened.<\/p>\nCorrectly applied cuff<\/h2>\n
Please note that you can only achieve freedom from pain with the correct size<\/strong> and correctly applied cuff<\/strong>.
Check the fit of the cuff with the help of our right\/wrong photos and use the case studies and solutions described.
For questions and problems please use our contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\nCase study I<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Forearm cuff too close to the elbow <\/strong>(arm can be stretched without effort)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Place the forearm cuff in the middle of the forearm (half between hand and elbow) and close it so that the forearm cuff cannot slide up further.
When the arm is extended, you will see a bulge between the elbow and the forearm cuff – the area of the injured tendons is relieved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nCase study II<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Upper arm strap adjusted too loosely, cuff does not work and slips off, the arm can be stretched through without resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Bend the arm and close the upper arm strap so tightly that the rubber does not protrude much in the position, the cuff lies well against the skin and stretching the arm is only possible with force and a bulge is visible between the forearm cuff and the elbow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nCase study III<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Upper arm strap is fastened too far towards the shoulders,<\/strong> thus immobilizing the arm, or strap slips off when moved several times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
The upper arm strap should sit just above the elbow bone and must not be pulled up too far. As a small guide, the cuff should reach about a 90 degree angle if the arm is also angled about 90 degrees.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nCase study IV<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
The cuff is set too tightly, <\/strong>the arm cannot be stretched to any extent and the blood circulation may be disturbed, the arm remains in a resting position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Tight settings are useful for acute pain as well as heavy, intentional exertion such as work or weight training, but these settings must be changed after the activity has ended. The arm should always be able to be stretched with effort, and blood circulation should not be permanently compromised.<\/p>\n

Between 25.5cm and 28.5cm both sizes are a snug fit<\/strong>, please choose size 1<\/strong> if your forearm circumference is less than 27cm<\/strong>, choose size 2<\/strong> if the circumference is 27cm or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPutting on the cuff<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTake the cuff and open the two Velcro fasteners. Do not pull the straps completely out of the plastic eyelets if possible, however, if that happens, they can easily be passed through the eyelets again.<\/p>\n
Pull the cuff over your hand as shown in the picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSlide the cuff to about the middle of the forearm<\/strong> and close the Velcro fastener so that the forearm cuff fits snugly on the arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPosition it so that the small dot marking on the forearm cuff lines up with the middle of the elbow\/arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPlease note:<\/strong> The forearm cuff is supposed to be located in the middle between the hand and the elbow<\/strong> and must not be placed too close to the elbow bend.
Make sure you maintain enough space in between!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAfter finding the correct position for the forearm cuff, put the upper arm strap over your elbow and bend your arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNow adjust the upper arm strap in this position so that it fits well against the upper arm when the arm is bent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you now extend your arm, the counter-traction should be noticeable. The relief is noticeably greater or lesser depending on how you vary the positioning. You should have to exert force to straighten your arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Correctly applied cuff<\/h3>\n
When the arm is extended, you will see a bulge\/curvature between the forearm cuff and the elbow<\/strong>. This tells you that the cuff is working correctly and that the tendon insertions are relieved.<\/p>\nFeel free to use our “Right\/Wrong” images<\/strong> for comparison (next chapter on this page).<\/p>\nVary the settings until you have achieved the optimum position and relief for you. You can adjust the settings at any time to suit the situation (e.g. set them a little tighter<\/strong> for activities with a bent arm<\/strong> such as working at the computer, and loosen them a little as required for other activities; please also refer to our tips in the following sections.<\/p>\nIt is recommended to wear the Masalo Cuff permanently for the first 14 days and until the injury has healed, and as regularly as possible when putting stress on the arm.<\/p>\n
Important Notice:<\/h3>\n
The arm must not be immobilized with the cuff applied and must not remain in a rest position.<\/strong>
<\/span> The arm must remain normally mobile and usable and should be moved as normally and as much as possible<\/strong>. Only when the arm is stretched\/loaded a counter-traction\/resistance should be felt.<\/p>\nIf you have any problems putting on or wearing the Masalo Cuff<\/strong>, ask your dealer for advice or contact us at:
shop@masalo.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCuff applied, now what?<\/h3>\n
Now you should either immediately \u2013 or within a maximum of 15-30 minutes<\/strong> – feel a significant relief<\/strong>, otherwise something is wrong.<\/p>\nIf relief does not occur, adjust the cuff correctly again, or take it off and contact us<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nPlease do not use the cuff if you are not sure you want to keep it. We cannot provide a full refund of the purchase price if the cuff is used for a longer period of time or shows signs of use.<\/p>\n
Important:<\/strong> The Masalo Cuff is a very effective bandage against epicondylitis and develops strong forces. Please use the cuff only if you have received an exact diagnosis of present epicondylitis from your physician.<\/em><\/p>\nYou can also check the function\/effect of the Masalo Cuff yourself with a small test, simply click on the “Function test” button below.<\/p>\n
Feel free to use our “Right\/Wrong” images<\/strong> for comparison (next chapter on this page).<\/p>\nIf our cuff helps you, we would be pleased to receive a small user review<\/a><\/strong> from you or a recommendation to fellow sufferers, via Facebook<\/strong><\/a>, internet forum etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWearing period<\/h3>\n
An epicondylitis may take a while to heal completely. Therefore a wearing period from 4 weeks to 6 months<\/strong> is not unusual.<\/p>\nThe more consistently you wear the cuff (at best day AND night), the more it supports the healing process.<\/p>\n
That is why we recommend the purchase of a second cuff<\/strong> so you can change it (after work, sports or washing) and thus always achieve an optimal effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDownload application guide:<\/h2>\n

For questions and problems please use our contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\nCase study I<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Forearm cuff too close to the elbow <\/strong>(arm can be stretched without effort)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Place the forearm cuff in the middle of the forearm (half between hand and elbow) and close it so that the forearm cuff cannot slide up further.
When the arm is extended, you will see a bulge between the elbow and the forearm cuff – the area of the injured tendons is relieved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nCase study II<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Upper arm strap adjusted too loosely, cuff does not work and slips off, the arm can be stretched through without resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Bend the arm and close the upper arm strap so tightly that the rubber does not protrude much in the position, the cuff lies well against the skin and stretching the arm is only possible with force and a bulge is visible between the forearm cuff and the elbow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nCase study III<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
Upper arm strap is fastened too far towards the shoulders,<\/strong> thus immobilizing the arm, or strap slips off when moved several times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
The upper arm strap should sit just above the elbow bone and must not be pulled up too far. As a small guide, the cuff should reach about a 90 degree angle if the arm is also angled about 90 degrees.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nCase study IV<\/h2>\nProblem:<\/h3>\n
The cuff is set too tightly, <\/strong>the arm cannot be stretched to any extent and the blood circulation may be disturbed, the arm remains in a resting position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/center><\/p>\nSolution:<\/h3>\n
Tight settings are useful for acute pain as well as heavy, intentional exertion such as work or weight training, but these settings must be changed after the activity has ended. The arm should always be able to be stretched with effort, and blood circulation should not be permanently compromised.<\/p>\n
