7 Fitting Advice
The correct alignment (A-P position), range of motion (distribution of plantarflexion to
dorsiflexion) and adjustment of the hydraulic settings are critical in achieving a smooth roll over
and correct slope adaptation (see 6.3).
EchelonVT axial springs are designed to work together with the heel and toe springs to give
smooth progression for most users. The axial spring controls both compressive and torsional
resilience and typical axial movement should be between 3-6mm for normal walking.
EchelonVT is available with a choice of 4 axial spring rates (see section 1.0 for details).
Allow the user some time to become familiar with the initial set-up.
If after following the instructions below you still have problems with the function please contact
the sales team in your area for advice.
Any of the following will have a negative effect on function and stability:
• Incorrect spring selection
• Incorrect A-P shift alignment
• Incorrect distribution of plantarflexion and dorsiflexion range
Symptoms
1.
Sinking at heel strike
Difficulty in achieving a
smooth progression to
mid stance
User feels they are
walking up hill or
forefoot feels excessively
long
2.
Progression from heel
strike to mid stance is too
rapid
Difficulty in controlling
the energy return from
the foot at the heel strike
(reduced knee stability)
User feels heel is too
hard, fore foot is too
short
Remedy
Increase plantarflexion resistance
Check A-P shift alignment; ensure foot is not too
anteriorly positioned
Check distribution of plantarflexion and
dorsiflexion movement; ensure that the plantar-
flexion range is not excessive
Check spring category is not too soft, if so
rate spring
Reduce plantarflexion resistance
Check A-P shift alignment; ensure foot is not too
posteriorly positioned
Check distribution of plantarflexion and
dorsiflexion movement; ensure that there is
adequate plantarflexion range
Check the spring category is not too high for the
weight and activity of the patient, if so
spring
