AMP ANKLE SLEEVE
The AMP Ankle Sleeve is used to hold the pod in the correct position on the test subject’s leg. It is essential
that the pod be properly oriented and positioned on the leg to ensure accurate monitoring of activity.

Starting data collection
At the start of data collection, follow these steps.
1. Turn the pod on and start the data collection before inserting the pod into the ankle sleeve.
2. Insert the pod into the ankle sleeve with the nose first, such that the LCD is visible in the circular
window. Close the triangular flap to keep the pod in.
3. Use the Velcro strap to attach the pod on the back of the leg just above the ankle. It is best to tighten the
strap around the narrowest part of the leg so that it is unlikely to slide down. The ankle sleeve can go
directly over the skin or over a sock or stocking. Check that:
a.
The ankle sleeve is correctly oriented.
The Dynastream logo on the strap should be right side
up and the triangular flap that holds the pod in the pocket should be on top.
b. The pod is squarely on the back of the leg. The pod should be over the Achilles tendon.
c. That the strap is tight enough to ensure that the pod does not flap or rotate around the leg as the
test subject walks, however loose enough to be comfortable.
