INFORMATION
For covering longer distances, the prosthetist can configure a "Running" MyMode (see
Page 28).

9.1.4 Sitting down

The resistance in the prosthetic knee joint while sitting down ensures evenly
bending into the sitting position.
1) Place both feet side by side at the same level.
2) While sitting down, distribute weight evenly between both legs and use
3) Move the buttocks in the direction of the backrest and lean the upper body
INFORMATION: Resistance while sitting down can be changed with the
Cockpit app or the remote control via the parameter "Resistance" (see
Page 32).

9.1.5 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.
If the patient is in a sitting position for more than two seconds (i.e. the thigh is
close to horizontal and there is no load on the leg), the knee joint switches the
resistance to a minimum in the extension direction.
A sitting function can be enabled by the prosthetist. For more information
about the sitting function, see the following section.

9.1.5.1 Sitting function

INFORMATION
To use this function, it must be enabled by the prosthetist. It also has to be activated using the
cockpit app or remote control (see Page 32).
In the sitting position, the resistance in the flexion direction is reduced in addition to the reduction
of resistance in the extension direction. This makes it possible to swing the prosthetic leg freely.

9.1.6 Standing up

Flexion resistance is increased steadily while standing up.
1) Place the feet at the same level.
2) Lean the upper body forward.
3) Put the hands on armrests, if available.
4) Stand up with support from the hands while keeping weight evenly distrib­
armrests, if available.
