CAUTION
Risk of falling when walking backwards
When putting down the toe first when walking backwards, the orthosis may switch from high
stance phase resistance to swing phase resistance.
► Active flexion in the hip at this point in time can lead to falling.
→ Actively secure the orthosis with the residual musculature while walking backwards.
Lock mode: 1st mode with blocked knee flexion
This mode gives the patient a certain feeling of safety when first using the orthosis, since the
orthosis will not bend, but will straighten. The knee flexion is blocked in the stance phase. Stance
phase damping is set to the maximum. Nevertheless, the swing phase is triggered when walking.
To allow the user to sit down with the knee joint flexed, it is necessary to manually switch to 1st
mode before sitting down.
STA Mode (Stance Function Timer [*20ms])
High stance phase damping is automatically activated during an extended stance phase with the
knee slightly flexed (knee angle approx. 5° to approx. 20°). This occurs after the time 'Stance
Function Timer [*20ms]' has elapsed.
INFORMATION: If this mode is not wanted, the function can be deactivated by the Orthotist.

ing up movement patterns are possible subject to
restrictions.
