2.1.3 Hydraulics

2.2 Function

This product features microprocessor control of the stance and swing phase.
The microprocessor uses the measurements of an integrated sensor system as a basis to control a hydraulic unit
that influences the damping behaviour of the product.
These sensor data are updated and evaluated 50 times per second. As a result, the behaviour of the product is
adapted to the current motion situation (gait phase) dynamically and in real time.
Thanks to the microprocessor-controlled stance and swing phase, the system can be individually adapted to the
needs of the patient.
For this purpose, the product is configured with the C-Soft adjustment software.
The product has an additional mode for special motion patterns (e.g. riding a therapy bike ...). This is precon­
figured using the adjustment software and can be activated using buttons on the hydraulic unit.
An additional mode "LOM" (lock orthosis mode) can also be selected. It results in strong damping (similar to the
behaviour of a locked joint unit) in the stance phase, offering a certain level of security for beginners in particular.
The swing phase can be triggered notwithstanding high stance phase damping.
