8) Place the mounting adapter on the support element (item 9) and guide
them into the cover (see fig. 24).
9) Mount the cover (item 11) with the flattened side on the basic piece of
the ankle joint (see fig. 25).
10) Tighten the mounting adapter using the tightening torque of the support
element (see fig. 26).
11) Remove the mounting adapter.
12) Position the spring plunger (item 7) together with the bearing sleeve
(item 8) and the stop pin (item 10) in the cover on the support element
(see fig. 27).
13) INFORMATION: It must be possible to screw the spring holder
smoothly into the support element. If there is resistance while
screwing it in, unscrew the spring holder and screw it in once
more. Do not screw the thread in at an angle. Use a Torx wrench to
insert the thread of the spring holder (item 6) into the spring plunger and
tighten it with a torque wrench; use a bit extension for the torque wrench
to do so. Observe the specified torque (see fig. 28, see fig. 29).
14) Position the washer (item 5) on the spring holder (see fig. 30).
15) Insert the spring dummy (item 3) into the module (see fig. 31).
16) Place the spring bolt (item 2) on the module and fasten it with a Torx
wrench (see fig. 32). The spring dummy must fit in the module without
play.
17) Put the orthosis on the patient (see fig. 33).
See the illustration of the Reaction-module for the corresponding wrench
sizes and tightening torque values (see fig. 7).
Reaction module – static trial fitting
INFORMATION
The stop pin is equipped with a thread lock, which makes the stop pin hard
to turn during adjustment. Do not turn the stop pin any more than neces
sary, since the thread lock is easily damaged and this can lead to prema
ture wear and tear. Optionally the 17AD100A=MA* mounting adapter can
be used with the Torx wrench for additional leverage.
Required materials: 643A8 knee pivot point gauge
>
Prerequisite: The reaction module is mounted to the spring dummy in
>
the ankle joint.
1) Put the orthosis on the patient (see fig. 33).
2) Use the knee pivot point gauge to mark the compromise pivot point
according to Nietert on the knee joint (see fig. 34).
