Walking Down Stairs; Walking Down A Ramp; Configuration For Walking Down Stairs/Ramp Using The Adjustment Software; Changing Prosthesis Settings - Otto Bock Genium X3 3B5-3 Instructions For Use Manual

The stair function can also be used to cross obstacles:
1) Lift the extended prosthesis off the floor.
2) Briefly extend the hip.
3) Quickly flex the hip. This causes the knee to flex.
4) With the knee flexed, step over the obstacle.

9.1.9 Walking down stairs

This function must be practised and executed consciously. Only when the sole is properly
positioned can the system react correctly and permit controlled flexion.
1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Position the leg with the prosthesis on the step so that the foot projects halfway over the
3) Roll the foot over the edge of the step.
4) Place the foot of the other leg onto the next step.
5) Place the foot of the prosthetic leg on the next step after that.
INFORMATION: The flexion speed of the knee joint can be changed using the Cock­
pit app via the parameter "Resistance" (see Page 38).

9.1.10 Walking down a ramp

Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint which lowers
the body's centre of gravity.
INFORMATION: The flexion resistance at which the knee bends can be changed
using the Cockpit app via the parameter "Resistance" (see Page 38).

9.1.11 Configuration for walking down stairs/ramp using the adjustment software

Walking down stairs or ramps can be configured as follows using the adjustment software:

9.2 Changing prosthesis settings

Once an active connection to a component has been established, the settings of the respective active mode can
be changed using the Cockpit app.
INFORMATION
Bluetooth on the prosthesis must be switched on to change the prosthesis settings.
If Bluetooth is switched off, it can be turned on by turning the prosthesis upside-down or by connecting/discon­
necting the battery charger. Bluetooth is then turned on for approx. 2 minutes. The connection must be estab­
lished during this period.

With sufficient knee flexion, the extension resistance is increased to allow enough time
for crossing the obstacle.
edge of the step.
→ This is the only way to ensure a secure rollover.
→ This flexes the prosthesis slowly and evenly in the knee joint.
Meaning
Flexion resistance that increases with the knee angle (starting from the resistance of
the parameter "Stance flexion resistance") to the end of the stance phase is con­
figured.
With this setting, it is possible to swing the prosthesis up at the end of the stance
phase on ramps and stairs. This results in more ground clearance during swing-
through of the prosthesis.
