INFORMATION
Ensure the electronics of the E-MAG Active are positioned properly (see Section 4.1.4).
The dummy is constructed so that the E-MAG knee joint has a 6 mm posterior placement.
Now select the position of the electronic components.
The battery and electronics must only be placed on the thigh. This results in favourable weight
distribution. At the same time, the cable between the knee joint and electronics is not subjected
to unnecessary strain.
Select soft tissue regions that easily adapt to the shape of the dummies. The dummies must
lie flat on the selected regions when forming the plaster positive. Otherwise, they may become
curved through heat build-up during lamination. This may prevent the original components from
subsequently fitting into the recess (Figure 10). The electronics and battery unit may also be
positioned laterally on one side.
When arranging the parts, take the length of the cables into consideration:
• Battery – electronics: 50 cm, variable length
• Electronics – knee joint: 30 cm, fixed length
NOTICE
Risk of cable damage. Severing the cable between the knee joint and electronics destroys the cable.
The cable between the knee joint and electronics may not be shortened or extended. If it is too long,
wrap it and fasten it to the orthosis.
Now draw the final position of the dummies onto the region of the thigh as follows:
• Dummy C for battery D with receptacle E in the medial position (Figure 11),
• Dummy F for electronics G with receptacle H in the lateral position (Figure 12).
