The microprocessor uses the measurements of an integrated sensor system as a basis to control
a hydraulic unit that influences the damping behaviour of the product.
These sensor data are updated and evaluated 100 times per second. As a result, the behaviour of
the product is adapted to the current motion situation (gait phase) dynamically and in real time.
The product can be individually adapted to your needs with adjustment software.
The product features MyModes for special motion types (e.g. cycling etc.). These are pre-con
figured by the orthotics and prosthetics professional (O&P professional) using the adjustment
software and can be activated with special movement patterns and the Cockpit app (see
page 84).
In case of a product malfunction, safety mode makes restricted operation possible. Resistance
parameters that are predefined by the product are configured for this purpose (see page 87).
Empty battery mode permits safe walking when the battery is drained. Resistance parameters that
are predefined by the product are configured for this purpose (see page 87).
The microprocessor-controlled hydraulic unit offers the following advantages
•
Approximation of the physiological gait pattern
•
Stability while standing and walking
•
Adaptation of product characteristics to various surfaces, inclines, gait situations and walking
speeds
Essential performance of the product
•
Stability in the stance phase
•
Adjustable swing phase extension resistance
3 Application
3.1 Indications for use
The product is to be used solely for lower limb exoprosthetic fittings.
3.2 Conditions of use
The product was developed for everyday use and must not be used for unusual activities. These
unusual activities include, for example, extreme sports (free climbing, parachuting, paragliding,
etc.).
Permissible ambient conditions are described in the technical data (see page 90).
The product is intended exclusively for use on one user. Use of the product by another person is
not approved by the manufacturer.
Our components perform optimally when paired with appropriate components based upon weight
and mobility grades identifiable by our MOBIS classification information and which have appro
priate modular connectors.
The product is recommended for mobility grade 3 (unrestricted outdoor walker)
and mobility grade 4 (unrestricted outdoor walker with particularly high demands).
