Transfemoral Bench Alignment
Alignment at the transfemoral level should be consistent with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the prosthetic knee in use .
Dynamic Alignment
The Motion Foot SLX hydraulic Range of motion allows it to conform well
to the ground . This characteristic may make the foot appear to be properly
aligned after the static alignment . Small adjustments in the alignment
however will smooth the transition from heel to toe, optimize gait and
efficiency. Patient feedback during this process is essential. In the dynamic
alignment of the foot, the socket flexion angle and heel stiffness are altered
to achieve optimal alignment and patient gait .

Dorsiflexion
• The valve to adjust plantarflexion will always be on your left and the
valve to adjust dorsiflexion will be on your right regardless of side of
amputation .
• Out of the box, the valve for each is completely open .
• Plantarflexion resistance affects the user's gait from initial contact to
loading response .
• Dorsiflexion resistance affects the user's gait through midstance as the
body travels over the foot .
Valve Adjustment
Turn the left valve clockwise
(more resistance)
Turn the left valve counterclockwise
(less resistance)
Turn the right valve clockwise
(more resistance)
Turn the right valve counterclockwise
(less resistance)
