Walking Up A Ramp; Walking Down A Ramp; Walking Down Flat Steps; Kneeling - Otto Bock 17KO1 Series Instructions For Use Manual

8.3.8 Walking up a ramp

1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Place the foot of the less affected leg onto the ramp.
3) Move the leg with the product forward.

8.3.9 Walking down a ramp

Use the handrail if possible.
Slight slope (< 5-10%)
The sequence of movements is equivalent to walking on the level. Swing
phase initiation is possible.
Moderate/steep slope (> 5-10%)
The sequence of movements is similar to walking down stairs. Place a load on
the orthosis, permit knee flexion against the flexion resistance and roll over the
forefoot.

8.3.10 Walking down flat steps

A (possibly surprising) swing phase may be triggered when walking down a
flat step (such as a curb). The user can either use the stance phase flexion
resistance or initiate a swing phase.

8.3.11 Kneeling

The individual approach to kneeling down and getting up again should be
developed in cooperation with the O&P professional and/or therapist.
Kneeling down is supported by increased flexion resistance, which permits
controlled flexion of the knee joint.

8.4 Changing orthosis settings

Once an active connection to a component has been established, the settings of the respective
active mode can be changed using the Cockpit app.
INFORMATION
Bluetooth of the component must be switched on to change the orthosis settings. Briefly press
the button on the control panel to check.
If the symbol is not lit up, Bluetooth has to be activated by a long press of the
control panel.
