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 preconfigured 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 damp­
ing (similar to the behaviour of a locked joint unit) in the stance phase, offering a certain level of
