Static Alignment; Dynamic Trial Fitting; Aligning The Prosthetic Foot - Ottobock 1E91 Runner Instrucciones De Uso

Connect the prosthetic foot and prosthetic socket using the chosen
adapters. Be sure to follow the adapter instructions for use.
Sagittal alignment prosthetic socket
In proximal area centred on alignment reference line
Socket flexion: Individual residual limb flexion + 5°
Observe the abduction or adduction position.

5.4.2 Static Alignment

• Ottobock recommends checking the alignment of the prosthesis using
the L.A.S.A.R. Posture and adapting it as needed.
TT prostheses: The load line should run approx. 15 mm anterior to the
•
compromise pivot point according to Nietert.
TF prostheses: The load line should run approx. 40 mm anterior to the
•
rotation axis of the prosthetic knee joint.

5.4.3 Dynamic Trial Fitting

• Adapt the setup of the prosthesis in the frontal plane and the sagittal
plane (e.g. by making angle or slide adjustments) so that optimal rollover
is ensured.
TT fittings:Make sure that physiological knee movement is achieved
•
after the leg begins to bear weight.
• Adapting the alignment of the prosthetic foot (see Page 20). The align­
ment of the prosthetic foot is optimised if it points straight forward when
it is set down.

5.5 Aligning the prosthetic foot

Moving
The prosthetic foot can be shifted in the connection adapter. It is shifted on
a radius which changes the angle of the heel strike and the dynamics of the
prosthetic foot. The bench alignment remains unchanged, as moving does
not have an effect in the a–p direction.

Required tools: 241 636K13 Loctite®, 710D4 torque wrench
>
1) Loosen the 2 Allen head screws on the underside of the adapter.
→ The adapter can now be moved.
2) Set the required position of the adapter.
3) Secure the 2 Allen screws with Loctite® and tighten (torque: 12 Nm).
