Joint Assembly NEURO FLEX MAX

 Alternative Function 3

Check if the system joint moves without lateral play. Hold the tibial shell and

try to move the femoral shell in varus-valgus direction. If the system joint

runs with lateral play, mount the next thicker sliding washers, repeat all

steps from step 8 onwards and check again.

Note: With a bilateral orthosis, only check one system joint at a time.

Step 16/16

Secure both screws with LOCTITE 243 medium strength and the torque

corresponding to the system width.

Step 1/26
