7.3.7 Walking up stairs

Walking up stairs step-over-step is not possible.
1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Place the foot of the less affected leg onto the first step.
3) Pull up the other leg.

7.3.8 Walking down a ramp

Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint
which lowers the body's centre of gravity.
The swing phase is not triggered even though the knee joint is flexed.

7.3.9 Walking backwards

While walking backwards, the hydraulics keep the knee joint stable with high
flexion resistance.

7.4 Using a wheelchair

When sitting in a wheelchair, the joint can be locked in the flexed position for short distances. The
lock can be engaged in any position from an angle of 45°. This prevents the foot from dragging on
the floor. This function needs to be enabled in the adjustment software.
Locking the joint
► Lift the foot and keep it still in the desired position.
Disengaging the lock
The lock can be disengaged in the following ways:
•
•

INFORMATION: At full extension, the lock engages with slight flex­
ion so that the foot can be lifted in order to disengage the lock.
Extended pressure on the ball of the foot.
Extended pressure on the toes (from the top of the foot).
Briefly lifting the leg and allowing it to drop.
