Limitation of the Joint Function Due to Improper Processing
Errors in processing can impair the joint function. Pay particular attention to:
- correctly connecting the system side bar/system anchor with the system case in accordance with the
production technique;
- grease the joint components only slightly and
- adhere to the maintenance intervals.
Malfunctions Due to Insufficient Range of Motion in the System Ankle Joint
Check the plantar flexion angle in order to avoid joint dysfunction. It should be not less than 5°. Replace
the dorsal spring unit if necessary.

3. Application

The NEURO MATIC system knee joint is exclusively for use for orthotic fittings of the lower extremity. It must
be handled by a professionally trained user. All FIOR & GENTZ system joints were developed for everyday life
activities such as standing and walking. Extreme loads connected to activities like running, climbing and
parachuting are excluded.

4. Joint Functions

The NEURO MATIC system knee joint is an automatic joint and provides three joint functions:
- basic function at delivery status in Auto mode
- alternative function in Lock mode
- alternative function in Free mode
The system knee joint is preassembled in a physiological joint angle of 5°. It can be brought into a knee flexion
position of 0° or 10° by exchanging system components. To do so, exchange the 5° upper part for a 0° or 10°
upper part.
