  • Page 3: Product Description

    The Capital Knee is constructed with an integrated pyramid (proximal) and 34 mm pylon receiver or pyramid (distal). INTENDED USE The Capital Knee, intended for transfemoral amputees, is a prosthetic device designed to restore some function of an anatomical knee joint. INDICATIONS: CONTRAINDICATIONS: ▪...

    BENCH ALIGNMENT (TKA) ENGLISH Determine the heel height Determine the socket flexion The alignment reference line bisects through the knee center Knee Center Reference STATIC ALIGNMENT With the alignment reference line through the knee center, plantarflex or dorsiflex the foot until the load line is balanced between 1/3 heel and 2/3 toe lever.
  • Page 6 3-MODE FUNCTION The Capital Knee has three functional modes that can be adjusted by the end user. To change the mode, press down on the mode switch lock, then rotate the switch to the left, center, or right position. When lined up, the lock will click in place.

    ACCESSING HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENTS ENGLISH Note: Hydraulic valve adjustments can be made using a 4mm Allen wrench. Note: The full range of valve adjustment is 180° The effect of a dynamic adjustment can be felt with as little as 1/8 - 1/4 turn. FACTORY SETTINGS Remove the hydraulic adjustment cover...
  • Page 8 SWING PHASE ENGLISH Factory setting = both screws at minimum resistance Begin by adjusting the flexion resistance, or heel rise. Then adjust the extension resistance to control terminal impact. FLEXION RESISTANCE EXTENSION RESISTANCE Controls how quickly the knee goes into flexion upon off- Controls how the knee moves through extension during loading of the prosthesis.
  • Page 9 STANCE PHASE ENGLISH Trigger Sensitivity Screw STANCE FLEXION RESISTANCE STANCE TRIGGER SENSITIVITY Factory setting = screw is at maximum resistance Factory setting = screw is at most sensitive (most resistance to stance yielding) (easiest to trigger stance flexion ) This sets the amount of toe load required to trigger Controls flexion of the knee during stance phase of release into flexion.
  • Page 10: Dynamic Adjustments

    DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENTS ENGLISH For dynamic adjustments, have your patient begin ambulating at a comfortable cadence to fine-tune the flexion and extension resistance. After the initial settings are established, it is important for the patient to demonstrate walking at variable speeds and on uneven surfaces (ramps, stairs, etc.) in order to fully adjust the knee.
  • Page 11 STANCE PHASE ENGLISH Stance Flexion Resistance Stance flexion resistance can be evaluated during “stand-to-sit” or descending stairs or ramps. Increase or decrease stance flexion so that the patient can feel appropriate resistance to flexion of the knee during these activities. SYMPTOM DESIRED RESULT SCREW ADJUSTMENT...
