INFORMATION
When exoprosthetic components are used, the use of control functions which are performed
hydraulically or movement of the component in the footshell can cause noise. This kind of noise
is normal and unavoidable. It generally does not cause any problems. If movement noise
increases noticeably during the lifecycle of the component, the component should be immedi­
ately inspected by authorised qualified Ottobock personnel.
Signs of changes in or loss of functionality during use
Decreased forefoot resistance or changes in roll-over behaviour are noticeable indications of loss
of functionality.
