loading

RHEOLOGIC Workbench contains a graphic depiction of the loading conditions of the RHEO KNEE (Figure 7).
The anterior and posterior load experienced by the RHEO KNEE is displayed and illustrated by the movement of
the indicator. Össur's recommendation of alignment best practice is detailed beside the loading display.

important: At maximum flexion, maintain minimum distance of 3 mm (1/8") between the RHEO KNEE and the
socket. At maximum flexion where contact cannot be avoided due to socket volume, ensure contact is on the
frame, directly below the user interface panel. For maximum pressure distribution, maintain a flat and cushioned
contact surface.

Automatic adjustment

The automatic adjustment enables the RHEO KNEE to learn and adjust to the unique gait of each individual
amputee (Figure 8). The on/off buttons are used to activate and deactivate the auto adjustment feature of the
RHEO KNEE. By activating the auto adjustment, all gait parameter settings are reset to default and logged
activities are erased. Step-by-step instructions to this process are detailed in the Automatic Adjustment tab.
