INFORMATION
Knee joint movement noise
When using exoprosthetic knee joints, servomotor, hydraulic, pneumatic or brake load depend­
ent control functions can cause movement noise. This kind of noise is normal and unavoidable.
It generally does not indicate any problems. If movement noise increases noticeably during the
lifecycle of the knee joint, the knee joint should be inspected by an O&P professional immedi­
ately.
