Static Alignment Optimisation; Dynamic Alignment Optimisation - Otto Bock Kenevo 3C60 Instructions For Use Manual

Preparation for use
Verification at maximum extension
INFORMATION
If a protective cover is subsequently installed, the available distance between the electronics and socket without
the protective cover has to be at least 10 mm. Installing the protective cover reduces this distance by 5 mm.

7.1.5 Static alignment optimisation

Static alignment can be substantially improved using the L.A.S.A.R. Posture (743L100=*). In order to achieve
adequate safety while simultaneously providing easy swing phase initiation, please proceed with alignment as fol­
lows:

7.1.6 Dynamic alignment optimisation

After adjusting the product with the adjustment software, perform dynamic optimisation during trial walking. Often,
the following aspects have to be observed and adapted, if necessary:
• Socket flexion position by verifying step length symmetry (sagittal plane)
• Adduction position of the socket and M-L positioning of the socket adapter (frontal plane)
• Rotation position of the knee joint axis and outward rotation of the prosthetic foot (transversal plane)

If the distance between the socket or system components such as a rotation adapter
and the electronics is not sufficient, these may be damaged. Be sure to follow the
system component instructions for use.
Check the distance as follows:
1) Bring the knee joint and socket to maximum extension.
2) Check the available distance between the electronics/top edge of the installed
Protective Cover and the socket or system components such as a rotation
adapter. It must be at least 5 mm.
To determine the load line, have the patient (with shoes) stand on
the force measuring plate with the prosthetic side and on the
height compensation plate with the other leg.
The prosthesis side must be sufficiently loaded (>35% body
weight). Note the weight display on the L.A.S.A.R. Posture.
Optimise the alignment solely by changing the plantar flexion.
Only make adjustments to the distal and proximal setscrews of
the socket adapter on the prosthetic foot, so that the load line
(laser line) runs approx. 30 mm/1.18 inch in front of the align­
ment reference point (= knee axis) for the knee joint.
