Adapting the alignment of the prosthetic foot (see Page 21). The align
ment of the prosthetic foot is optimised if it points straight forward when
it is set down.
5.5 Aligning the prosthetic foot
Moving
The prosthetic foot can be shifted in the connection adapter. It is shifted on

prosthetic foot. The bench alignment remains unchanged, as moving does
