Page 8: Knee Functions
Knee Functions The Plié® 2.0 MPC Knee is a single axis prosthetic knee joint system providing microprocessor control of both the swing and stance phases of gait. The microprocessor monitors an embedded load sensor and an angle sensor to precisely control the transitions between the stance and swing phases of gait. Three manual settings allow the hydraulic cylinder to provide adjustable resistance for stance flexion, swing flexion, and swing extension. -
Page 9: Finishing Options
Finishing Options The Plié® 2.0 MPC Knee may be finished with a cosmetic/protective cover. However, the choice of cover material may affect normal knee function. A cover should be modified or not used if it detrimentally affects the knee performance. A discontinuous, two-piece cover is recommended as its impact on knee performance is minimal. !Care should be taken during cover fabrication to ensure the user has adequate access to the battery !compartment and the posterior manual knee settings of the hydraulic cylinder. -

Figure A Figure B Plié Control The Plié Control software is necessary for programming Plié® 2.0 MPC Knees (Figure C). The Plié Control consists of a main window and four auxiliary windows. The auxiliary windows may be accessed from the main window. - Page 11 Figure C 7. Calibrate - Select Calibrate to establish the reference zero values for the embedded sensors. The knee must be extending fully within five minutes of selecting Calibrate. 8. Wireless Sync - Select Wireless Sync if the software and knee fail to sync (circles remain red). 9.

Swing Flexion Stance Flexion 235mm Swing Extension Figure E Figure F load sensor and angle sensor. The three data recordings identify the userʼs normal gait pattern window. If the microprocessor detects deviations outside the userʼs normal gait pattern window, stumble recovery is engaged. Stumble recovery is available to the user throughout swing phase. -
Page 15: Bench Alignment
Figure L control, and balance of individual users. Proper alignment and user voluntary control are essential to knee stability during stance phase. Prior to assembly of the prosthesis, the prosthetist should measure the userʼs hip joint range of motion (ROM) on the prosthetic side to determine if the user has a hip flexion contracture (Figure E). -
Page 16: Static Alignment
!An inherently unstable trochanter-knee-ankle (TKA) alignment may cause a rapid extension moment at !the knee joint after midstance. The non-adjustable stance extension resistance may be insufficient to !dampen the extension moment if the user does not exert sufficient voluntary control and/or if the alignment recommendations are not implemented. -
