8 Maintenance

INFORMATION
Due to the use of control functions which are performed hydraulically, movement noises may
result when exoprosthetic hip joints are used. Such noises are normal and inevitable. They gen­
erally do not cause any problems.
If movement noises increase noticeably over the lifecycle of the hip joint, the prosthetic joint
should be inspected immediately by a prosthetist.
• After the prosthetic hip joint has been worn for several weeks, it should be inspected and any
necessary adjustments should be made. After an adaptation phase, prosthesis wearers usu­
ally appreciate a slightly higher extension damping in the stance phase.
• Conduct annual safety inspections.
• Check the prosthetic hip joint for wear and proper function once a year and make adjustments
if necessary. Special attention should be paid to movement resistance and abnormal noises.
Full flexion and extension must be ensured.
• Do not disassemble the prosthetic hip joint. Please send the complete prosthetic joint to the
manufacturer for repair in case of problems.
