Set Up length
With flexion, aduction and abduction properly
accommodated, set the limb length 5mm
longer than the sound side to allow for
compression and deflection of the foot springs
during gait. This should be re-assessed once
the dynamic trial commences and the length
adjusted accordingly.
Load Line
This should fall between the centre line of the
pyramid and 10mm anterior (with heel height
properly accommodated). The socket should
be positioned accordingly.
Dynamic alignment
Coronal Plane
Ensure that M-L thrust is minimal by adjusting
relative positions of socket and foot.
Sagital Plane
Check for smooth transition from heel strike to
toe off. Ensure also that when standing the
heel and toe are evenly loaded and that both
are touching the floor.
Ankle alignment note:
When using the cosmesis attachment plate
with Endolite Pyramid adaptors, it may be
necessary to replace the medial and lateral
grub screws with the shortened items supplied
to avoid any chafing of the screws against the
plate.
If high levels of inversion / eversion are
required, the adaptor should be refitted with
the original screws to ensure maximum thread
engagement.
Trans-femoral Alignment
Align trans-femoral devices according to fitting
instructions supplied with the knee, keeping
the build line relative to the Esprit as shown.
