Dear Patient, You have received from your orthotist an individually produced orthosis with the high quality FIOR & GENTZ NEURO MATIC system knee joint. 1.

3.2 All Instructions for Your Safety DANGER Potential Traffic Accident Due to Limited Driving Ability Gather information about all issues concerning safety and security and potential dangers, e.g. unintentional locking of the system joint, before driving a motor vehicle with orthosis. WARNING Risk of Falling Due to Loosely Attached Cover Plate Do not secure screws for the system joint on your own.

4. Application The NEURO MATIC system knee joint is exclusively for use for orthotic fittings of the lower extremity. It must be handled by a professionally trained user. Every mechanical joint influences the orthosis' function and thus also the function of your leg. All FIOR & GENTZ system joints were developed for everyday life activities such as standing, walking and running but not for extreme loads due to sports such as climbing and parachuting.

5.2 Alternative Function in Lock Mode In Lock mode, the NEURO MATIC system knee joint is a locked joint to provide motion control. As it is permanently mechanically locked, you must first unlock the system joint mechanically again if you want to flex your knee.

5.5 The Proper Shoe The orthotist adjusts your orthosis when you try it on and do your first steps. Since you have to get used to your new orthosis, the adjusted orthosis should be regularly checked in the first weeks and, if necessary, newly adapted to your need for safety.
