Walking Down Stairs; Walking Down A Ramp; Mymodes - Otto Bock Genium X3 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
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 prosthesis leg on the next step after that.
INFORMATION: The flexion speed of the knee joint can be changed
using the Cockpit app or remote control via the parameter "Resistance"
(see Page 32).

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 or remote control via the parameter
"Resistance" (see Page 32).

9.2 MyModes

With the help of adjustment software, the prosthetist can activate and configure up to 5 MyModes
in addition to the basic mode. These can be selected by using the Cockpit app or the remote con­
trol (optional accessory). Only the first 3 MyModes can be selected using movement patterns.
Switching by using movement patterns has to be activated in the adjustment software by the pros­
thetist.
For information on switching MyModes with the remote control (optional accessory), see the
remote control instructions for use.
With sufficient knee flexion, the extension resistance is increased to allow
enough time for crossing the obstacle.
halfway over the edge of the step.
→ This is the only way to assure a secure rollover.
→ This flexes the prosthesis slowly and evenly in the knee joint.
