Step 8. Unlock the rotation pin, which is located at the top middle of the halo. If
you’re testing the patient’s left side, rotate the halo 65 degrees toward the right, and
then lock the rotation pin. Rotate the halo 65 degrees toward the left when testing the
patient’s right side (Figure 6-57). Note that the figures show a set-up for testing the
patient’s right side.
Step 9. Attach the head brace to the halo on the side being tested (Figure 6-58).
Step 10. Set the halo to 0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Make sure the flexion/
extension angle is set to 0 degrees as well (Figure 6-59).
Step 11. Position the head brace against the patient’s head.
Step 12. Make fine adjustments to the seat to line up C5/C6 of the patient’s spine with
