Frequently Asked Questions
What can the practitioner do if the heel or toe is too soft or
too firm?
The heel and toe rollover resistance may also be fine-tuned during the
dynamic alignment (page 5) by plantarflexing, dorsiflexing, or shifting the
foot anterior or posterior.
Can the foot be worn without a foot shell?
Yes, the foot may be used without a foot shell; however, some type of
protective covering must be used to protect the composite blades from
abrasion and high impact. A durable sole material must be permanently
bonded, using Master
®
All-Purpose Cement or similar contact cement, to the
plantar surface of the foot to provide the necessary traction and protection.
Any foreign materials or grit must be routinely cleaned away to prevent
excessive wear.
Can I get my AllPro wet?
The AllPro is designed to be maintenance free. The foot is water resistant;
however, if the foot is submerged in water, the foot and foot shell should be
rinsed with fresh water and dried immediately.
Is there regular maintenance on the foot for which I should see
my prosthetist?
The AllPro is a high performance foot and should be inspected every 6
months for signs of abnormal wear and that the attachment/alignment
screws are secure.
How should I clean my foot shell?
Patients should clean the prosthetic foot shell with a soft cloth and a soap
and water solution and should inspect the shell for the presence of sand or
other debris weekly. The foot shell may also be cleaned with rubbing alcohol
(70%).
Do not use acetone. It will damage the foot shell.
What should I do if my foot is no longer performing as well or is
making noise when in use?
If the foot performance changes or if it makes noise, the patient should
immediately contact his or her practitioner.
