Alignment
Careful attention to the alignment of the socket, Plié® 2.0 MPC Knee, and the prosthetic foot is essential to a
successful user outcome. The prosthesis alignment should account for the range of motion (ROM), voluntary
control, and balance of individual users. Proper alignment and user voluntary control are essential to knee stability
during stance phase.
Prior to assembly of the prosthesis, the prosthetist should measure the user
ʼ
s hip joint range of motion (ROM) on
the prosthetic side to determine if the user has a hip flexion contracture (
Figure E
). If present, the user
ʼ
s hip
flexion contracture should be accommodated by attaching the socket to the prosthesis with an appropriate
amount of flexion (
Figure F
). Failure to sufficiently accommodate a hip flexion contracture may compromise the
user
ʼ
s function during standing and ambulation (
Figures G & H
).
!
During standing, an unaccommodated hip flexion contracture may prevent the user from standing
!
straight, compromising the user
ʼ
s balance (Figure G). Additionally, an unaccommodated hip flexion
!
contracture may cause excessive lumbar lordosis, compromising the structural integrity of the user
