5.7.4 Adjusting the Swing Phase Friction
Function
Swing phase friction
Tools required:
>
Allen key (4 mm)
► CAUTION! The prosthetic knee joint has to reach full extension, even at slower walk­
ing speeds. Observe the information in the section "Fine-tuning the Settings" (see
Page 37).
Using the screwdriver, adjust extension damping so that the prosthetic knee joint does not
swing too hard against the extension stop and so that the prosthetic foot swings through suffi­
ciently according to the needs of the patient.
5.7.5 Fine-tuning the Settings
► CAUTION! The various settings of the prosthetic knee joint cannot be adjusted entirely
independently of each other. When the settings cannot be fully adjusted to the com­
fort needs of the patient, the settings should be established primarily based on safety
aspects.
Adapt the settings of the prosthetic knee joint to the patient by means of fine-tuning and exer­
cises.
If the extension position is not reached with every step and at any walking speed, reduce the
braking effect and/or increase the initial tension of the extension assist.
► Check the adjustment of the prosthesis settings during normal consultations and the annual
safety inspection.
Advise the patient to check the prosthesis if changes in function occur.
5.8 Finishing the Prosthesis
Required tools:
>
Torque wrench
1) Tighten all screws of the prosthetic components to the specified installation torque values.
2) Verify proper functioning of the prosthesis.
