8.1.1.1 Stance function

INFORMATION
To use this function, it needs to be enabled in the adjustment software. It also has to be activ­
ated using the Cockpit app (see page 79).
The stance function (standing mode) is a functional supplement to the basic mode (mode 1). This
function makes it easier, for example, to stand on an inclined surface for a longer time. The joint is
fixed in the flexion direction.
The stance function must be enabled by the O&P professional. In addition, the type of joint lock­
ing (conscious/intuitive) has to be established by the O&P professional. Changing the locking
type using the Cockpit app is not possible.
Intuitive locking of the joint
The intuitive stance function recognises any situation that puts strain on the prosthesis in the flex­
ion direction but where flexion is not permitted. Examples of this include standing on uneven or
sloping surfaces. The knee joint is always locked in the flexion direction when the prosthetic leg is
not fully extended, under some amount of load and at rest. Upon forward or backward rollover or
extension, the level of resistance is immediately reduced to stance phase resistance again.
The knee joint is not locked when the above conditions are met and a sitting position is assumed
(for example while driving).
Deliberate locking of the joint
1) Assume the desired knee angle.
2) Do not remove the entire load from the prosthesis.
3) Do not change the knee angle for a brief period (1/8 second). This time period prevents unin­
tentional activation of the stance function while walking.
→ The blocked joint can now be loaded in the flexion direction.

Knee control through high hydraulic resistance and static alignment.
A stance function can be enabled by the O&P professional. Please see the fol­
lowing section for further information on the stance function.
