Runway® Instruction for Use
Product Number: RS2
The Runway® is a carbon fiber adjustable heel height prosthetic foot. Its anatomical gliding
ankle maintains appropriate foot alignment to provide knee stability and consistent
performance at all heel heights. The Runway® carbon fiber material stores and returns
energy so that users can walk farther, faster, longer. The Runway® fiber layers are tailored
to an individual's body weight and impact level, providing a customized product for superior
comfort.
Prior to donning the prosthesis:
• Plantarflex/Dorsiflexion foot to match the shoe heel height. (See Operation Section)
• Adduct/Abduct socket to provide appropriate frontal plane angle.
• Flex/Extend socket to provide appropriate sagittal plane angle.
• Move the socket to ensure the weight line falls along the anterior edge of the pylon (see
illustration).
To optimize the heel to toe rollover motion, adjust the following variables:
• Anterior/posterior foot placement
• Dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
• Heel stiffness
Heel too soft
Heel too hard
Toe too stiff
Toe too soft
Weight Line
Symptoms
• Foot flat occurs too rapidly
• Toe feels excessively stiff
• Knee hyperextension
Solutions
• Shift socket anteriorly in relation to the foot
• Attach rubber stiffening bumpers
Symptoms
• Rapid knee flexion, instability
• Heel to toe progression too rapid
• Lack of energy return sensation
Solutions
• Shift socket posteriorly in relation to the foot
• Verify appropriate foot module category
Symptoms
• Flat spot in rollover motion at slow cadences
Solutions
• Consider a lower category foot module
Symptoms
• Clicking noise at initial contact
• Excessive toe deflection with high impact activity
Solutions
• Consider a higher category foot module
