Sitting Down; Sitting; Standing Up - Otto Bock 17KO1 Series Instructions For Use Manual

INFORMATION
Changing the gait pattern influences activation of the swing phase. Adjustment by the O&P pro­
fessional has to be repeated in this case.

8.3.3 Sitting down

INFORMATION
Before sitting down, check whether adequate resistance is provided for support while sitting
down. If a MyMode with very high or very low stance phase flexion resistance is activated, the
Cockpit app must be used to switch back to basic mode before sitting down. Basic mode can
also be activated by switching the product off and back on again.
The resistance in the product's knee joint while sitting down ensures even
lowering into the sitting position.
1) Position both feet side by side at the same level.
2) While sitting down, distribute your weight evenly between both legs and
3) Move the buttocks in the direction of the back support and lean the upper
INFORMATION: Resistance while sitting down can be changed with the
Cockpit app via the parameter "Stance flexion resistance" (see
Page 83).

8.3.4 Sitting

INFORMATION
While sitting, the knee joint also switches to energy saving mode. This energy saving mode is
activated regardless of whether the sitting function is activated or not.
When a sitting position is maintained for more than two seconds (i.e. the thigh
is close to horizontal and there is no load on the leg), the product switches the
resistance in the extension direction to a minimum.
If the sitting function has been activated by the O&P professional and
switched on via the Cockpit app (see Page 83), the resistance in the flexion
direction is also reduced.

8.3.5 Standing up

INFORMATION
If a MyMode with a very high extension resistance (component remains flexed while standing up)
or very low flexion resistance (no support as expected) is activated, it is necessary to switch
back to basic mode. Basic mode can also be activated by switching the product off and back on
again.
