In case of a system malfunction, safety mode makes restricted operation possible. Predefined
resistance parameters are configured in the product for this purpose (see Page 51).
The microprocessor-controlled hydraulic unit offers the following advantages
•
Stability while standing and walking
•
Smooth, harmonious, quiet initiation of the swing phase
•
Automatic recognition of sitting down. Manual unlocking of the joint not required.
•
Support while sitting down with individually adaptable resistance. This resistance remains
constant during the entire process of sitting down.
•
Support while standing up. The knee joint can be loaded even before reaching full extension.
•
Approximation of the physiological gait pattern
•
Adaptation of product characteristics to various surfaces, inclines, gait situations and walking
speeds
•
Manual locking of the knee joint for use of a wheelchair (see Page 50).
