5 Preparation for Use

CAUTION
Incorrect alignment, assembly or adjustment
Injuries due to incorrectly installed or adjusted as well as damaged prosthesis components
► Observe the alignment, assembly and adjustment instructions.
INFORMATION
Correct alignment is crucial for the optimal function of the prosthesis!
Therefore, a test socket is first used for all of the described tasks.
INFORMATION
Optimum prosthesis alignment requires the use of a functional prosthesis component with tor­
sion unit; this enables a more harmonious and comfortable gait pattern for the patient. It also
reduces wear on the prosthetic joint. Either a torsion adapter (e.g. 4R39) or a prosthetic foot
with torsion unit (e.g. 1C61) is recommended for this purpose (see the chapter "Combination
Possibilities" – see Page 22).
Fabrication
The fabrication of the prosthesis is described in the chapters that follow.
1) Taking the Plaster Negative (see Page 27)
2) Fabricating the Test Socket (see Page 27)
→ The tasks that follow are completed with the test socket.
3) Determining the Alignment Reference (see Page 27)
4) Bench Alignment (see Page 28)
5) Static Alignment (see Page 29)
6) Dynamic Trial Fitting (see Page 30)
7) Finishing the Check Prosthesis (see Page 33)
→ The tasks that follow are completed with the definitive socket.
8) Reinforcing the Prosthetic Socket (see Page 33)
9) Determining the Alignment Reference (see Page 27)
10) Bench Alignment (see Page 28)
11) Static Alignment (see Page 29)
12) Dynamic Trial Fitting (see Page 30)
13) Finishing the Prosthesis (see Page 34)
The 647H540 Quick Start Guide (included with the product!) contains useful information on the
fabrication process in the form of illustrations.
