Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint
which lowers the body's centre of gravity.

9.2 MyModes

With the help of adjustment software, the prosthetist can activate and configure MyModes in addi­
tion to the basic mode. These can be selected using the remote control app, the remote control,
or by a special motion pattern. Switching by using motion patterns has to be activated in the
adjustment software by the prosthetist.
These modes are intended for specific motion patterns or postures (e.g. inline skating, ...). Set­
