Risk of Falling Due to Improper Handling
Inform the patient about the correct use of the system joint and potential dangers especially with regards
to:
- moisture and water as well as
- excessive mechanical stress (e.g. due to sports, increased activity or weight gain).
Risk of Falling Due to Loosely Attached Cover Plate
Mount the cover plate to the system joint according to the assembly instructions in this manual. Secure the
screws with the specified torque and the corresponding adhesive and make sure that no sliding washers are
damaged in the process.
Risk of Falling Due to Permanent Higher Load
If patient data has changed (for example, due to weight gain, growth, or increased activity), recalculate
the load capacity of the system joint. For this purpose, use the Orthosis Configurator or contact Technical
Support.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Shoe
Advise the patient to wear a shoe to which the orthosis is adjusted in order to avoid joint dysfunction.
Risk of Falling Due to Excessive Readjustment of the Spring Units/Adjusting Screw Units
Adjust the spring units/adjusting screw units according to the information in this manual. Do not readjust
more than 10°. Use the laser markings on the system stirrup and the joint's upper part to check the
readjustment.
Jeopardising the Therapy Goal Due to Lack of Free Movement
Check if the system joint moves freely in order to avoid restrictions of the joint function. Use suitable
sliding washers according to the information in this manual.
Jeopardising the Therapy Goal Due to Incorrectly Filed System Stirrup
If you need to file the system stirrup, note all information provided in this manual. Do not file the system
stirrup, especially to the dorsiflexion stop, too far, otherwise the forefoot lever is not activated. As a result,
the patient's gait worsens due to a lack of stability. Therefore always file the system stirrup:
- gradually up to the required stop angles and
- only so far that no more than a 10° fine adjustment is possible.
