Walking Down Stairs; Walking Down A Ramp; Changing Prosthesis Settings - Otto Bock Genium 3B1-2 Instructions For Use Manual

9.1.9 Walking down stairs

This function must be practised and executed consciously. Only when the sole
is properly positioned can the system react correctly and permit controlled
flexion.
1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Position the leg with the prosthesis on the step so that the foot projects
3) Roll the foot over the edge of the step.
4) Place the foot of the other leg onto the next step.
5) Place the foot of the prosthesis leg on the next step after that.
INFORMATION: The flexion speed of the knee joint can be changed
using the Cockpit app or remote control via the parameter "Resistance"
(see Page 77).

9.1.10 Walking down a ramp

Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint
which lowers the body's centre of gravity.
INFORMATION: The flexion resistance at which the knee bends can be
changed using the Cockpit app or remote control via the parameter
"Resistance" (see Page 77).

9.2 Changing prosthesis settings

Once an active connection to a prosthesis has been established, the settings of the mode cur­
rently active can be changed using the cockpit app or the remote control (optional accessory).
For information on changing the prosthesis settings with the remote control (optional accessory),
see the remote control instructions for use.
INFORMATION
Bluetooth on the prosthesis must be switched on to change the prosthesis settings.
If Bluetooth is switched off, it can be turned on by turning the prosthesis upside-down or by
connecting/disconnecting the battery charger. Bluetooth is then turned on for approx. 2
minutes. The connection must be established during this period.
Information for changing the prosthesis settings
• Before changing settings, always check the main menu of the cockpit app or the display of
the remote control (optional accessory) to make sure the correct prosthesis has been selec­
ted. Otherwise, parameters could be changed for the wrong prosthesis.
• It is not possible to change prosthesis settings nor to switch to a different mode while the
prosthesis battery is being charged. Only the status of the prosthesis can be called up.
Instead of the
pit app.
• The prosthetist's setting is located in the middle of the scale. After making adjustments, this
setting can be restored by tapping the "Standard" button (Cockpit app) or by moving the
slider control into the middle (remote control).

halfway over the edge of the step.
→ This is the only way to assure a secure rollover.
→ This flexes the prosthesis slowly and evenly in the knee joint.
