5.5 Dynamic Trial Fitting

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.
During dynamic trial fitting, the alignment and settings of the prosthesis are checked and adapted
for optimum walking according to the needs and abilities of the patient.
The patient has to learn the safe use of the prosthesis through intensive training.
The following subsections describe the adjustment possibilities for adapting the product to the
patient.
The list below provides an overview of the sequence for working through the subsections:
•

Checking the Factory Settings

Setting Flexion Damping

• Setting Extension Damping
5.5.1 Checking the Factory Settings
Function
Flexion damping
Extension damping
Tools required:
>
710H10=2x3 Adjustment Wrench
1) Check whether the settings match the factory settings (see table).
2) In case of deviations, restore the factory settings using the adjustment wrench.
5.5.2 Setting Flexion Damping
