8.6.5 Overview of adjustment parameters

The adjustment parameters of the adjustment software are described in more detail in the section that follows. In
this overview, the sequence of the parameters is based on the movement pattern or the gait phases when walking
on level ground that are relevant for the parameters. The sequence in the description therefore deviates from the
listing in the C-Soft adjustment software.
The denotation of the parameters differentiates between the stance phase (STP = Stance Phase) and the swing
phase (SWP = Swing Phase).
STP Flexion Damping
The parameter 'STP Flexion Damping' is the resistance against flexion of the knee which is required for descend­
ing stairs or ramps or for supported sitting motions.
The value configured on delivery has to be adapted to the patient.
