Sitting; Standing Up; Walking Down Stairs; Walking Up Stairs - Otto Bock Kenevo 3C60 Instructions For Use Manual

8.1.4 Sitting

8.1.5 Standing up

Notwithstanding low damping while sitting, the prosthesis supports standing up.
Damping is increased after rising from the seat. From an angle of approx. 45°, the knee joint iden­
tifies a "standing up process" which results in what is called "pre-locking" in the flexion direction.
This function makes it possible to stand up with pauses in between. The joint fully supports
weight during these pauses. If standing up is aborted, the "sitting down" function is activated
again.
The joint is locked after fully standing up.

8.1.6 Walking down stairs

8.1.7 Walking up stairs

If the user is in a sitting position, i.e. the thigh is close to horizontal and there
is no load on the leg, the knee joint switches to a low resistance in both the
flexion and extension direction.
If the load on the prosthesis was not sufficient while sitting down, the leg is
extended during this process. Due to the nearly horizontal position of the lower
leg, the flexion resistance is reduced automatically and the lower leg lowers on
its own.
If the sitting function is enabled in the adjustment software and activated via
the Cockpit app (see page 79), the resistance in the flexion direction is
reduced as well.
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
uted over feet.
The knee joint is locked in the flexion direction.
1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Place the foot of the prosthetic leg on the first step.
3) Pull up the other leg.
INFORMATION: Walking down stairs step-over-step is not possible in
this activity mode.
Walking up stairs step-over-step is not possible.
1) Hold the handrail with one hand.
2) Place the foot of the less affected leg onto the first step.
3) Pull up the other leg.
