INFORMATION
When exoprosthetic components are used, the use of control functions which are performed hydraulically or
movement of the component in the footshell can cause movement noise. This kind of noise is normal and unavoid­
able. It generally does not cause any problems. If movement noise increases noticeably during the lifecycle of the
component, the component should be inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre immediately.
Signs of changes in or loss of functionality during use
Decreased forefoot resistance or changes in roll-over behaviour are noticeable indications of loss of functionality.
