STEP 1 - SETUP THE ANKLE
Enter the patient’s weight by selecting the value on the
screen and typing in the weight.
To lower the keyboard, select the down/back button on
the bottom of the screen.
To transfer a step count from a previous Ankle to this
one, select ‘Change Cumulative MyBiOM Step Count’.
STEP 2 - BASIC TUNING SETTINGS
To adjust a parameter, highlight the bar and use the +
and – buttons to increase and decrease the value.
For helpful parameter tips, highlight the bar and select
the help button (?).
Use the Net Work Graph to help you find the optimal
power settings. At optimal tuning, the dots will plot near
the dashed lines and form a parallel slope.
1. With the power parameters set at 0%, adjust the
‘Resistance at Heelstrike’ while at self-selected speed. This will control the rate of
plantarflexion (rate to achieve foot flat) at heel strike.
2. Select ‘Self-Selected Power’ and use the + button to increase both power
parameters together and establish an acceptable amount of powered push off at
‘Self-Selected Power’.
3. Select ‘Fast Power’ to fine tune powered push off at ‘Fast Power’.
When using the application for the first time, you will
be asked to choose between English and Metric Units.
Select which you prefer.
If you later want to change to different units, select the
tool icon in the top right corner and then select ‘Weight
and Temperature Display’.
