6.3 Optimising the static alignment
6.3.1 Checking the static alignment
►
To check the static alignment, position the patient on the measuring device as shown in
Fig.
24
on page 18.
6.3.2 Optimising the static alignment
► In the sagittal plane, check the course of the load line
1
relative to the alignment reference
point 2 and correct this as shown if needed (see Fig.
25
on page 18).
► In the frontal plane, check the course of the load line 1 relative to the marked points ( 2 pros­
thetic foot, 3 prosthetic knee joint, 4 Spina iliaca anterior superior) and correct if needed
(see Fig. 26 on page 19).
6.4 Optimising during dynamic trial fitting
6.4.1 Resetting to factory defaults
► Before performing the exercises in the sections that follow, reset settings that have been
changed to factory defaults according to Fig.
27 on page 19.
6.4.2 Practicing sitting down and standing up
CAUTION
Adjusting the Settings
Fall due to incorrect or unfamiliar settings
► Only adapt the settings to the patient gradually.
► Explain the effects of the adjustments on the use of the prosthesis to the patient.
► The patient has to learn safe operation of the lock for all exercises (lock by loading at full

Using parallel bars or a handrail 1 , practice walking 2 with the patient while the
prosthetic knee joint is locked (see Fig. 29 on page 21).
►
NOTICE! Be sure to establish functional exterior foot rotation 3 .
