► For the safety of the patient, use a suitable device (e.g. parallel bars, handrail, wheeled
walker) during initial standing and walking.
7.2 Bench alignment of the prosthesis
► CAUTION! To enable the patient to stand safely, align the prosthesis using the alignment
images for the sagittal plane (Figure
page 5) as well as the instructions for use of all prosthetic components that were used.
Installing the tube adapter (
CAUTION
Incorrect mounting of the tube
Risk of injury due to breakage of load-bearing components
► Clean the contact surfaces of the tube and the tube adapter using a degreasing cleaning
agent.
Position the tube in the tube adapter so the minimum insertion depth is met.
►
► Use the smallest value for the allowable insertion depth as the minimum insertion depth.
→ : Allowable insertion depth: ≥ 30 mm
→ : Unallowable insertion depth: < 30 mm
CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections
Risk of injury due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections
► Clean the threads before every installation.
Apply the specified torque values.
►
► Follow the instructions regarding the length of the screws and about how to secure the
screws.
► CAUTION! Use thread lock at the latest when finishing the prosthesis according to Figure
on page 5.
7.3 Optimising the static alignment
► To optimise the static alignment, position the patient on the measuring device.
► In the sagittal plane, check the course of the load line relative to the marked alignment refer­
ence point and correct this if needed (see Figure
► In the frontal plane, check the course of the load line relative to the marked points (prosthetic
foot, prosthetic knee joint, spina iliaca anterior superior) and correct if needed (see Figure
on page 7).
7.4 Optimising during dynamic trial fitting
CAUTION
Adjusting the Settings
Fall due to incorrect or unfamiliar settings
► Only adapt the settings to the patient gradually.
► Explain the effects of the adjustments on the use of the prosthesis to the patient.
Checking the factory settings (
► Prior to the dynamic trial fitting, restore the factory settings (see Figure
→ : Flexion damping –
: Extension damping –
→
► Optimise the prosthesis settings in the sequence according to this section.
