Walking the Patient and Adjusting the Shock
Additional Information:
As noted in the previous “Understanding Shock Controls” section, the additional two blue lever settings
are commonly used to address ambulation on uneven terrain, stairs and steep declines as they can be
adjusted quickly “ on-the-fly” by the patient when on-demand flexion resistance is needed. These two set-
tings provide the on-demand flexion resistance that deliver additional security when desired without the
need to add more air to the shock.
Step 4.
While walking the patient and changing adjustments as needed, determine whether or not 10 psi is a
good air pressure for your patient’s ambulation needs. If more air pressure is required, add more air with
the air pump.
When adding air go up at a scale of 5-10psi if you are close to where you’d like the patient to
be. If not, close jump up 10-20psi at a time.
Repeat adjustment process as in Step 3 until desired ambulation is met.
Warning!
When adding or changing air pressure keep the knee fully extended.
Note: If air pressure is added or reduced, always reset the knee to the home position dial and lever set-
tings, and start the tuning process again.
