Application; Indications For Use; Area Of Application; Conditions Of Use - Ottobock Kenevo 3C60 Gebrauchsanweisung

In case of a product malfunction, safety mode makes restricted operation possible. Resistance
parameters that are predefined by the product are configured for this purpose (see Page 56).
The microprocessor-controlled hydraulic unit offers the following advantages
• Stability while standing and walking
• Smooth, harmonious, quiet initiation of the swing phase
• Automatic recognition of sitting down. Manual unlocking of the joint not required.
• Support while sitting down with individually adaptable resistance. This resistance remains
constant during the entire process of sitting down.
• Support while standing up. The knee joint can be loaded even before reaching full extension.
• Approximation of the physiological gait pattern
• Adaptation of product characteristics to various surfaces, inclines, gait situations and walking
speeds
• Manual locking of the knee joint for use of a wheelchair (see Page 55). This function makes it
possible to lock the knee joint in any extended position while sitting down. This is particularly
useful in order to keep the foot from dragging on the ground when the user is being transpor­
ted in a wheelchair.
