8.3.8 Walking down a ramp

Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint which lowers
the body's centre of gravity.
The swing phase is not triggered even though the knee joint is flexed.

8.3.9 Walking backwards

While walking backwards, the hydraulics keep the knee joint stable with high flexion resist­
ance.

8.4 Using a wheelchair

When sitting in a wheelchair, the joint can be locked in the flexed position for short distances. The lock can be
engaged in any position from an angle of 45°. This prevents the foot from dragging on the floor. This function
needs to be enabled in the adjustment software.
