CAUTION
Walking down stairs and ramps
Falling due to unexpected, increased stance phase damping during the transition from walking on the level to
stairs or ramps, for example when the orthosis is in a MyMode.
► Inform the patient of the changed product behaviour, especially in the MyModes.
►
Inform the patient that changed stance phase damping has to be verified before walking on stairs or ramps.
CAUTION
Lack of support from the product when walking down stairs
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
►
Inform the patient that it is essential to check whether corresponding flexion of the joint is possible before
walking down stairs. If this is not possible, either the Cockpit app or turning the product off/on must be used
to switch back to basic mode.
CAUTION
Improper use of the MyMode "Training mode"
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► Make sure that the patient is standing safely when using this MyMode and checks the lock of the knee joint
before placing their full weight on the orthosis.
► Inform the patient that the knee joint is locked in the flexion direction in this MyMode. For information about
this mode, see Page .
►
Switching back to basic mode is mandatory once the activities in this MyMode have been completed.
CAUTION
Improper use of the MyMode "Freeze position"
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► Make sure that the patient is standing safely when using this MyMode and checks the lock of the knee joint
before placing their full weight on the orthosis.
► Inform the patient that the knee joint is locked in the both the flexion and extension direction in this MyMode.
For information about this mode, see Page .
►
Switching back to basic mode is mandatory once the activities in this MyMode have been completed.
CAUTION
Lack of support from the product while sitting down
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► Inform the patient that it is essential to check whether corresponding flexion of the joint is possible before sit­
ting down. If this is not possible, either the Cockpit app or turning the product off/on must be used to switch
back to basic mode.
CAUTION
Quickly pushing the hip forward with the orthosis extended
> Falling due to unexpected activation of the swing phase.
► Note that the joint may flex unexpectedly when the hip is pushed forward quickly while the orthosis is exten­
ded.
► With the patient, practice movement patterns where this behaviour can occur. If the patient participates in
sports where this movement pattern can occur, configure a corresponding "user-defined MyMode" using the
adjustment app.
CAUTION
Changing the gait pattern influences activation of the swing phase
> Falling due to unexpected activation of the swing phase.
►
Inform the patient that changing the gait pattern influences activation of the swing phase. Adjustment by the
O&P professional has to be repeated in this case.
