7. Adjust the length of the bar so that the
upper edge of the femoral panel sits
directly under the greater trochanter.
At the same time, the pivot point of
the orthosis' joint should be positioned
congruently with the anatomical pivot
point of the hip joint (fig. 10).

To secure the upper bar's position,
only push the Click & Lock closure
in until it touches the pelvic panel,
but do not push the lever all the way
into the cut-out on the panel. Do not
lock the closure completely yet, so it
remains possible to make adjustments
later on, if necessary.
Adjusting the Condyle Clasp
1.
The DynaCox evolution comes with two
different pads for the condylar clasp, i.e.
a thicker and a thinner one (fig. 11). The
thicker pad is cushioned by air pockets.
Both pads feature markings for poten-
tial cutting lines along the edges. If the
patient' s leg circumference is very small,
it may be necessary to shorten the pads
on both sides, in order to be able to
adjust the condylar pads as necessary.
We recommend that the thinner pad be
used for obese patients.

Upon delivery, the lateral bar of the
condylar clasp is already installed on
the designated side. Please note that,
in case the products were ordered for a
consignment stock, the lateral side may
have to be transferred to the other side.
If you want to switch the side on which
the bar is attached, remove the two
screws on the side of the condylar clasp,
where the lateral bar is attached. Now
pull the condylar clasp off the condylar
pad (fig. 12), turn it by 180°, and re-
attach it on the condylar clasp (fig. 13).
Then screw the condylar clasp and the
condylar pad back together.
