WARNING Jeopardising the Therapy Goal Due to Lack of Free Movement Check if the system joint moves freely in order to avoid restrictions of the joint function. Use suitable sliding washers according to the information in this manual. WARNING Jeopardising the Therapy Goal Due to Incorrectly Filed System Stirrup Do not file the system stirrup too far.
6. Joint Function The basic function of the NEURO SWING system ankle joint is to dynamically bring the patient from a bent into an upright position as well as to stabilise the patient when walking and standing by balancing the body. Spring units of different strengths, that are mounted to the system ankle joint, offer the maximum range of motion in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion.
8. Load Capacity You can find all relevant patient data for your selected system joint in the configuration you performed with the Orthosis Configurator and/or on your completed orthotic treatment sheet. 9. Tools for Assembling the System Joint System Width 10mm 12mm 14mm...
“5 – Laminating the AFO” of the online tutorial “AFO in Joint Lamination Technique” on our website www.fior-gentz.com. 11.1 Mounting the Cover Plate Start the assembly of the NEURO SWING system ankle joint by mounting the cover plate. Proceed as follows: fi g. 8 1.
Mount the system stirrup corresponding to the system width and production technique to the NEURO SWING system ankle joint. Proceed as follows: 1. Grease the axle bore of the system stirrup as well as the friction surfaces of the bearing nut and the second sliding washer with the delivered orthosis joint grease.
11.3 Checking the System Joint's Free Movement If the system joint does not move freely, some of the spring force will be wasted by overcoming the friction forces. As a consequence, the joint function is restricted and the treatment goal might not be achieved. Check if the system joint moves freely.
12. Adjustment Options on the Orthosis The NEURO SWING system ankle joint can be individually adjusted to the patient's pathological gait with the help of three adjustment options (fig. 22): - adjustable alignment using the alignment screw (1); - adjustable range of motion using the motion limiting screw (2);...
12.3 Variable Spring Force The spring force in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion can be changed with- out great effort by using spring units of different strengths. There are five spring units with spring forces ranging from normal to extra strong (fig. 27).
14. Maintenance When mounting and demounting the system joint too often, the bars of the cover plate can deform due to the elasticity of the material and thus cause lateral play in the system joint. In this case, the acting force of the spring units can increase the play.
