Permanent Wedge Placement (Figure H)
• Apply adhesive to the upper side of the wedge only.
• Locate it in the foot/heel junction and position it before the adhesive sets.
• For split toe feet first install the heel wedge, then remove a thin slice in the middle by cutting with a sharp
knife through the split in the carbon foot module.
• Complete the dynamic alignment by performing calibration. (See chapter
“Calibration”
)
HEEL DIVIDER
The heel divider should be placed in the posterior portion of the split heel. To secure its position, a drop of
instant adhesive can be used on one side.
Flex-foot sock FCX63007 (Figure I)
To protect the cover a Flex-Foot sock is fitted over the foot module before applying the cover. The sock
should fit loosely in the heel area. To hold the Flex-Foot
®
sock in place attach the self adhesive velcro tabs to
the sides and front of the ankle. Press the Flex-Foot
®
sock firmly onto the tabs to hold in place.
It is important that the Flex-Foot
®
sock doesn’t slip down as this will cause interference with the proprio
foot
®
function and performance.
FOOT COVER REMOVAL (Figure J)
To remove the foot cover, grasp and pull on the Flex-Foot Sock. Hold down the cosmetic cover with a hand
on the rear aspect of the cosmetic cover. The heel module will snap out of the heel clip. Continue to pull and
remove the foot completely.

shoe horn or any other lever to remove the foot cover as this may cause
damage to the ankle unit.
