PreFlex
PreFlex ensures the knee is in 4° of flexion at the end of swing phase in preparation for loading
response. This makes initiating stance phase flexion easier and forward movement is less restric­
ted.
Adaptive yielding control
The knee joint has auto-adaptive stance and swing extension resistance. The stance flexion resist­
ance experienced by the user is dependent on the slope or incline when walking downhill. When
walking on a ramp, adaptive yielding control manages flexion depending on the angle of the ramp.
The knee joint flexes slowly if the ramp is flat, and flexes quickly if the ramp is steep.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
DSC ensures the knee will not release stance resistance during biomechanically unstable static
and dynamic conditions. Constantly checking multiple parameters, DSC ensures the optimally
timed decision for the knee to safely switch from stance to swing. Because DSC is always monit­
oring knee function, multi-directional movement and walking backward are also possible without
risk of stance resistance releasing.
Adaptive swing phase control
Instantaneous adaptation to varied walking cadences and to changes of the pendular mass (e.g.
varying footgear) ensures the knee always achieves the swing flexion target angle within (+/-) one
degree. The swing phase extension and flexion resistance experienced by the user are auto-
adaptive.
The flexed and partially loaded knee will also disable the stance phase on slopes and ramps to
allow for greater knee flexion and more ground clearance in the swing phase.
10 MyModes
With the help of adjustment software, the prosthetist can activate and configure up to 5 MyModes
in addition to the basic mode. These can be selected by using the Cockpit app or the remote con­
trol (optional accessory). Only the first 3 MyModes can be selected using movement patterns.
Switching by using movement patterns has to be activated in the adjustment software by the pros­
thetist.
For information on switching MyModes with the remote control (optional accessory), see the
remote control instructions for use.
The MyModes are intended for specific motion patterns or postures (e.g. inline skating, ...). Set­
tings can be adjusted using the Cockpit app or remote control (see Page 78).
10.1 Switching MyModes with the cockpit app
INFORMATION
Bluetooth on the prosthesis must be turned on in order to use the Cockpit app.
If Bluetooth is switched off, it can be turned on by turning the prosthesis upside-down or by
connecting/disconnecting the Bluetooth battery charger. Bluetooth is then turned on for approx.
2 minutes. During this time, the app must be started and used to establish a connection. If
required, Bluetooth on the prosthesis can be switched on permanently afterwards (see
Page 79).
