Movement Patterns In Basic Mode (Mode 1); Standing; Walking; Sitting Down - Otto Bock 17KO1 Series Instructions For Use Manual

10.3 Movement patterns in basic mode (mode 1)

10.3.1 Standing

A stable stance must be assured by the static alignment of the orthosis.
A stance function can be enabled using the adjustment app. Please see the section "Stance
function" (see Page 84) for further information on the stance function.

10.3.2 Walking

Initial attempts at walking with the product always require instruction from trained, qualified
personnel.
The hydraulics stabilise the knee joint in the stance phase and release the knee joint in the
swing phase so that the leg can swing forward freely.
Switching to the swing phase requires rolling the product over to the front out of the stride
position.
An acoustic feedback signal when initiating the swing phase can be activated via the adjust­
ment app (see Page 84).
INFORMATION
Inform the patient that changing the gait pattern influences activation of the swing phase and an adjustment by the
O&P professional is therefore required.

10.3.3 Sitting down

INFORMATION
Before sitting down, check whether adequate resistance is provided for support while sitting down. If a MyMode
with very high or very low stance phase flexion resistance is activated, the Cockpit app must be used to switch
back to basic mode before sitting down. Basic mode can also be activated by switching the product off and back
on again.
The resistance in the product's knee joint while sitting down ensures even lowering into the
sitting position.
1) Position both feet side by side at the same level.
2) While sitting down, distribute your weight evenly between both legs and use the arm
3) Move the buttocks in the direction of the back support and lean the upper body forward.
INFORMATION: Resistance while sitting down can be changed with the Cockpit app
via the parameter "Stance flexion resistance" (see Page 96).

10.3.4 Sitting

INFORMATION
While sitting, the knee joint also switches to energy saving mode. This energy saving mode is activated regardless
of whether the sitting function is activated or not.
