2.2 Function

The product is an orthopaedic device that makes everyday activities such as standing and walking possible or easi­
er for the patient. If the patient's activity level increases in the course of use, adjustments may be required.
Changes will also have to be made if the patient's physical condition worsens and more support from the product
is needed.
This product features microprocessor control of the stance and swing phase (SSCO).
The microprocessor uses the measurements of an integrated sensor system as a basis to control a hydraulic unit
that influences the extension and flexion resistance of the product.
These sensor data are updated and evaluated 100 times per second. As a result, the behaviour of the product is
adapted to the current motion situation (gait phase) dynamically and in real time.
Thanks to the microprocessor-controlled stance and swing phase, the product can be individually adapted to the
needs of the patient.
For this purpose, the product is configured with the "C-Brace Setup" adjustment app using a tablet.
The product features MyModes for special motion types (e.g. cycling ...). These are pre-configured using the
adjustment app and can be activated using the Cockpit app (see Page 100).
In case of an error in the sensor system, hydraulic control or when the battery is empty, safety mode makes restric­
ted operation possible. Resistance parameters that are predefined by the product are configured for this purpose
(see Page 102).
The microprocessor-controlled hydraulic unit offers the following advantages
• Approximation of the physiological gait pattern
• Stability while standing and walking
• Adaptation of product characteristics to various surfaces, inclines, gait situations and walking speeds
Essential performance of the product
• Stability in the stance phase

1. Long button press: turns the component on/off (see Page 97)
Short button press: queries the status (see Page 107)
2. Displays the charge level of the integrated battery (see Page 78)
3. Maintenance required (see Page 107)
4. Long button press: turns the Bluetooth function on/off (see Page 98).
Short button press: if the Bluetooth function is on, the component becomes "visible"
for about 2 minutes so it can be detected by another device such as a smartphone.
Under the cover at the end of the control panel: Charging receptacle to connect the
battery charger (see Page 76)
