Fitting Packages; Alignment, Adjustment And Assembly - Ottobock 7E10 Helix3D Gebrauchsanweisung

• Support of swing phase initiation: During the stance phase, integrated expansion springs store mechanical
energy. This energy is used to initiate the swing phase in order to compensate to some degree for the missing
hip flexors. As a result, less energy is required for walking.
• Optimal sitting characteristics: Since the Helix
obliquity" in the sitting position can be reduced to a minimum. Moreover, the flexion angle of the Helix
Joint is very large enabling comfortable sitting.

Alignment, adjustment and assembly

INFORMATION
Correct alignment is crucial for an optimal function of the prosthesis!
For this reason, a test socket is used for the works described in sections 3 and 4 (positioning of the lamination
plate, alignment, dynamic trial fitting). The manufacturing technologies required for these works (including those
required for the definitive pelvic socket) are taught during the certification workshop.
INFORMATION
For the alignment of the prosthesis described below, please proceed in two steps:
First make the bench alignment using an alignment tool such as 743L200 L.A.S.A.R. Assembly.
For subsequent optimisation of the static alignment, please use 743L100 L.A.S.A.R. Posture.
Use 2Z11=KIT
INFORMATION
The connection area of the prosthetic knee joint can be protected against scratches with the protective film of
the 2Z11=KIT during alignment in the workshop and testing in the trial fitting area.
• Use the protective film as illustrated in the accompanying document for the 2Z11=KIT.
• Remove the protective film before the patient leaves the fitting area.
