6.2.12 Preventing damage at maximum flexion
► NOTICE! Perform the steps shown in Fig.
ion.
► Besides the socket design measures shown in the figure, ensure that no metal is touching the
product in the marked support area.
► After utilising the maximum flexion, check the marked support area for damage.
► CAUTION! In case of deformation, damage and cracks, the prosthetic knee joint needs to be
replaced entirely.
6.3 Optimising the static alignment
6.3.1 Checking the static alignment
► To check the static alignment, position the patient on the measuring device as shown in

6.4 Optimising during dynamic trial fitting
6.4.1 Resetting to factory defaults
► Before performing the exercises in the sections that follow, reset settings that have been
changed to factory defaults according to Fig.
6.4.2 Practicing sitting down and standing up
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.
► The patient has to learn safe operation of the lock for all exercises (lock by loading at full
extension/unlock using the lock slide).
► CAUTION! With the patient, practice sitting down
page 21).
► CAUTION! With the patient, practice standing up
up, it is necessary to wait until the joint moves to extension again.
6.4.3 Practicing walking
► CAUTION! Using parallel bars or a handrail
