Walking Down Stairs; Walking Down A Ramp; Changing Prosthesis Settings - Ottobock Genium-Bionic Prosthetic System 3B1 Gebrauchsanweisung

8.1.9 Walking down stairs

This function must be practised and executed consciously. Only when the sole
is properly positioned can the knee joint 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 85).

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 85).

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.
Information for changing the prosthesis settings
• Before changing settings, always check the main menu of the Cockpit app to make sure the
correct component has been selected. Otherwise parameters could be changed for the
wrong component.
• It is not possible to change prosthesis settings nor to switch to a different mode while the
prosthesis battery is being charged. Only the status of the prosthesis can be called up.
Instead of the
pit app.
• The O&P professional's setting is located in the middle of the scale. After making adjust­
ments, this setting can be restored by tapping the "Standard" button in the Cockpit app.
• Prosthesis settings should be optimised using the adjustment software. The Cockpit app is
not intended for use by the O&P professional to set up the prosthesis. The everyday behaviour
of the prosthesis can be changed to a certain extent using the app (e.g. while becoming
accustomed to the prosthesis). The O&P professional can use the adjustment software to
trace these changes at the next appointment.
• If the settings of a MyMode are to be modified, one must first switch to this MyMode.

→ This is the only way to ensure a secure rollover.
→ This flexes the prosthesis slowly and evenly in the knee joint.
