The Paso Knee knee joint is a polyaxial polycentric knee joint with a stable aluminium frame construction. It is
suitable for users in mobility classes (2), 3 and 4, and is approved for a maximum body weight of 136 kg.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Paso Knee is designed for patients with transfemoral and knee disarticulation amputation.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE
N/A.
Control of the swing phase is actively supported by the autoadaptive, high-performance pneumatic system.
The stance phase is secured by the polyaxial construction. This offers the highest degree of safety when walking
and enables prosthesis alignment without shortening.
The axle geometry, and thus the actuation time, of the Paso Knee knee joint can be changed using interchangeable
wedges. In this way, the knee joint can be adapted to the safety requirements of the individual user. Wedge A and
wedge B are available as accessories in the Dynamic Set (Art. No. 1.970.970).
Proximal adaptation can be achieved in a number of ways:
• Paso Knee with a pyramid adapter
• Paso Knee with an IKF-Adapter
• Paso Knee with a loop adapter
• Paso Knee with a 3-arm socket adapter (particularly suitable for interim sockets)
For all adaptation options, the Paso Knee is infinitely adjustable by up to 5 mm in the AP/ML directions and can be
rotated without limitation.
In addition, the flexion/extension angle and/or the adduction/abduction angle of the Paso Knee version with loop
adapter, can be corrected by up to max. 10° by using the adjusting discs. All the alignment adjustments can be
carried out during the fitting phase or at any other later point in time.
The Paso Knee version with IKF-Adapter emulates the anatomical angle of strike of about 5 - 11° without
deactivating the safe knee joint geometry. Using the IKF-Adapter reduces stress on the joint chain and gives the
user a secure and energy-saving gait. The adapter also makes walking on gradual slopes and uneven ground
considerably easier and safer. A number of different progressive buffers are available that can be varied individually
depending on the walking habits of the prosthesis user. The IKF-Adaptercan be used for all mobility classes.
