8.1.8 Overcoming obstacles

INFORMATION
To use this function, it needs to be enabled in the adjustment software. It also has to be activ­
ated using the Cockpit app (see Page 78).
The stair function can also be used to cross obstacles:
1) Lift the extended prosthesis off the floor.
2) Briefly extend the hip.
3) Quickly flex the hip. This causes the knee to flex.
4) With the knee flexed, step over the obstacle.

8.1.9 Walking down stairs

This function must be practised and executed consciously. Only when the sole
is properly positioned can the system react correctly and permit controlled
flexion.
1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Position the leg with the prosthesis on the step so that the foot projects
3) Roll the foot over the edge of the step.
4) Place the foot of the other leg onto the next step.
5) Place the foot of the prosthetic leg on the next step after that.
INFORMATION: The flexion speed of the knee joint can be changed
using the Cockpit app via the parameter "Resistance" (see Page 78).

8.1.10 Walking down a ramp

Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint
which lowers the body's centre of gravity.
INFORMATION: The flexion resistance at which the knee bends can be
changed using the Cockpit app via the parameter "Resistance" (see
Page 78).

8.2 Changing prosthesis settings

Once an active connection to a component has been established, the settings of the respective
active mode can be changed using the Cockpit app.
INFORMATION
Bluetooth on the prosthesis must be switched on to change the prosthesis settings.
If Bluetooth is switched off, it can be turned on by turning the prosthesis upside-down or by
connecting/disconnecting the battery charger. Bluetooth is then turned on for approx. 2
minutes. The connection must be established during this period.
With sufficient knee flexion, the extension resistance is increased to allow
enough time for crossing the obstacle.
halfway over the edge of the step.
→ This is the only way to ensure a secure rollover.
→ This flexes the prosthesis slowly and evenly in the knee joint.
