INFORMATION
A calibration procedure must be performed after each change to the tube adapter, prosthetic foot or knee joint
using the adjustment software.
7.2 Completing the fitting
Upon finalising all settings, all screw connections must be tightened to the proper torque.
8 Use
8.1 Movement pattern in activity mode A (locked mode)
8.1.1 Standing
The knee joint is locked in the flexion direction. Therefore, proceed as you would with a rigid
knee joint.
INFORMATION: In response to a sitting movement, the joint switches to high flexion
resistance.
8.1.2 Walking
Initial attempts at walking with the prosthesis always require the instruction of trained, quali
fied personnel.
The knee joint is locked in the flexion direction. Therefore, proceed as you would with a rigid
knee joint.
8.1.3 Sitting down
The prosthesis makes it possible to sit down without manual unlocking. Here the adjustable flexion resistance of
the hydraulic unit provides support while sitting down.
Hand support is recommended while sitting down, e.g.:
• Support on the armrests of the chair
• Support on the handles of a wheeled walking frame
• Use of forearm crutches
• Use of a cane
Sitting down
1) Stand 5 to 10 cm in front of the edge of the chair.
2) Place both feet side by side at the same level.
3) While sitting down, put even weight on both legs and push the pelvis in the direction of

While standing up, the edge of the chair should not yet touch the hollow of the knee nor
press on the lower leg.
the backrest.
This causes the weight to shift to the heel and the prosthesis to tilt backward, which
makes the knee joint switch to "sitting damping". Support is therefore provided while sit
ting down.
