To Adjust the Footplate Angle
(Split Flip Down Footrest)
The footplates adjust independently, and are infinitely
adjustable within their range. They can each be set at angles
less than 90 degrees to accommodate ankle contractures. As
well, they can be adjusted to greater than 90 degrees to
accommodate foot drop
(figure 2.5)
The footplates can be adjusted simply by moving them up or
down. It is also possible to set the footplates in a fixed
position by adjusting the bolts
-Locate the set of bolts on the rear of the footrest. These
bolts are adjusted individually.
- To make the angle of the footplate less than 90 degrees,
extend the bolt (as indicated at A) To make the angle more
than 90 degrees, shorten the bolt (as indicated by B)
