9.1.5 Sitting

INFORMATION
While sitting, the knee joint also switches to energy saving mode. This energy saving mode is activated regardless
of whether the sitting function is activated or not.
If the patient is in a sitting position for more than two seconds (i.e. the thigh is close to hori­
zontal and there is no load on the leg), the knee joint switches the resistance to a minimum
in the extension direction.
A sitting function can be enabled using the adjustment software. For more information about
the sitting function, see the following section.

9.1.5.1 Sitting function

INFORMATION
To use this function, it needs to be enabled in the adjustment software. It also has to be activated using the Cock­
pit app (see Page 94).
In the sitting position, the resistance in the flexion direction is reduced in addition to the reduction of resistance in
the extension direction. This makes it possible to swing the prosthetic leg freely.

9.1.6 Standing up

Flexion resistance is increased steadily while standing up.
1) Place the feet at the same level.
2) Lean the upper body forward.
3) Put the hands on armrests, if available.
4) Stand up with support from the hands while keeping weight evenly distributed on feet.
