Intuitive locking of the joint
The intuitive stance function recognises any situation that puts strain on the orthosis in the flexion direction but
where flexion is not permitted. Examples of this include standing on uneven or sloping surfaces. The joint is always
locked in the flexion direction when the leg with the orthosis is not fully extended and is kept still for a brief
moment.
The joint is not locked when the above conditions are met and a sitting position is assumed.
Intuitive unlocking of the joint
► Upon forward or backward rollover or extension, the flexion resistance is immediately switched from high to
stance phase resistance again.
Manual joint lock
► Flex the joint between 5°and 60°.
→ Now the blocked joint can be loaded in the flexion direction.
Releasing the manual joint lock
► The Manual Stance function is automatically deactivated again by extending the knee or by repositioning the leg
(e.g. taking a step).
If this function has been deactivated by the patient, the information "(deactivated by patient)" appears next to the
switch .

8.9.1 Basic mode

8.9.2 MyMode "Training mode"

(if the knee joint is locked during the stance phase and swing phase release is possible)
The knee joint is locked in the stance phase. Swing phase initiation is possible as in basic mode.
In this mode, walking down stairs or a ramp is only possible one step at a time.

Parameter "Stance flexion resistance when walking on level surfaces"
If the parameter "Stance flexion resistance" for sitting down and negotiating
stairs and ramps is set correctly, but the patient sinks down in the stance phase
while walking on the level, the parameter "Stance flexion resistance when
walking on level surfaces" should be adjusted for the patient.
If elevated stance phase flexion resistance for walking on the level is not
wanted, the value of the parameter "Stance flexion resistance when walking
on level surfaces" has to be set equal to the value of the parameter "Stance
flexion resistance".
Parameter "Stance extension resistance"
This parameter can decide how quickly the knee joint returns to an extended
position again after stance phase flexion. The hardness of the stop can be influ­
enced with this parameter.
Parameter "Swing flexion angle"
This parameter determines the target angle that represents the maximum flexion
of the knee in the swing phase. The angle is approximately 65° for a physiolo­
gical gait, regardless of the walking speed.
This mode is intended for daily use.
The parameters configured in the previous screens describe the dynamic beha­
viour of the orthosis in the gait cycle. These parameters act as basic settings for
automatically adjusting the damping behaviour to the current motion situation
(e.g. ramps, slow walking speed, etc.).
