5.1.2 Bench Alignment
TT bench alignment
Required materials: 662M4 goniometer, 743S12 heel height measuring device,
743A80 50:50 gauge, alignment tool (e. g. 743L200 L.A.S.A.R. Assembly or 743A200
PROS.A. Assembly)
Perform the assembly and alignment of the prosthetic components in the alignment
tool according to the following specifications:
Sagittal plane
Heel height: Effective heel height (shoe heel height – sole thickness of fore­
foot) + 5 mm
Exterior foot rotation should not exceed 5°. Otherwise the inversion/eversion
of the prosthetic foot could influence the rollover behaviour and the frontal
knee stability in the stance phase.
a–p positioning, middle of the prosthetic foot to the alignment reference line:
Foot size [cm]:
22 to 25
26 to 28
29 to 30
Connect the prosthetic foot and prosthetic socket to the chosen adapters.
The instructions for use of the adapters must be observed.
Determine the centre of the prosthetic socket with the 50:50 gauge. Align the
prosthetic socket centrally to the alignment reference line.
Socket flexion: individual residual limb flexion + 5°
Frontal plane
Alignment reference line of prosthetic foot: between big toe and second
toe
Alignment reference line of prosthetic socket: along the lateral patella
edge
Observe the abduction or adduction position.
