Align trans-femoral devices according to fitting
instructions supplied with the knee, keeping
the build line relative to the Multiflex ankle, as
shown.

6.1 Static Alignment

With the flexion accommodated the build line
should pass through the center of the socket
in the sagittal (A–P) plane and through the
Multiflex foot, as shown. Heel height of the
shoe should be accommodated.

6.2 Dynamic Alignment

Coronal Plane
Make sure that M–L thrust is minimal by
adjusting relative positions of socket and foot.
Sagittal Plane
Check for smooth transition from heel strike to
toe-off. Also, make sure that when standing,
the heel and toe are evenly loaded and that
both are touching the floor.
Check that the serrations are engaged
before tightening the foot bolt.
Incorrectly engaged serrations can cause

noise, looseness, and the eventual failure
of the foot bolt.
