PROTECTIVE COVER ON DOME
Remove the protective cover on dome after alignment is completed and before
patient leaves clinic.
MOUNTING
Use only high quality proximal endoskeletal components (30 mm). The service-free
Accent foot comes permanently assembled in the foot shell. For DP mounting, refer to the
Cutting a Dynamic Pylon and DP Sleeve Adapters Tech Tip guides.
HEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BUTTON
The Heel Height Adjustment Button can be located on the medial or lateral side of the ankle.
The Accent foot ships with a medial button placement unless specified by the customer.
HEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1.
To adjust heel height, push in and hold the Heel Height Adjustment Button.
2.
After the desired heel height is achieved, release the Heel Height Adjustment Button to engage the
lock. Stand and apply a slight pressure to the heel to confirm that the mechanism is firmly seated.
STATIC ALIGNMENT
For optimal function, the load line should be positioned to divide the foot at 1/3 heel and 2/3 toe.
In order to benefit from the full 2" (51 mm) of heel height adjustment, begin with the foot set in
its most dorsiflexed position during initial alignment. This should be done in the lowest desired heel
height position (shoe or barefoot), which will allow the widest range of adjustment for increased
heel height requirements. Checking of the ideal alignment and function in multiple shoes and heel
heights is also recommended.

elements. To finish the assembly, refer to the Accent Ankle Fairing / Cosmetic Finishing Instructions
