Risk of Falling Due to Loosening of the Bearing Nuts
Secure the screw of the bearing nut with the specified torque and the corresponding adhesive and make
sure that no sliding washers are damaged in the process.
Risk of Falling Due to Permanent Higher Load
If patient data has changed (e.g. due to weight gain, growth or increased activity), recalculate the load
capacity of the system joint. For this purpose, use the Orthosis Configurator or contact Technical Support.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Shoe/Wrong Shoe Pitch
Advise the patient to wear a shoe to which the orthosis is adjusted in order to avoid joint dysfunction.
Damage to the Anatomical Joint Due to Incorrect Position of the Joint's Mechanical Pivot Point
Determine the joint's mechanical pivot points correctly in order to avoid a permanent incorrect load on the
anatomical joint. Please refer to the online tutorials on our website or contact Technical Support.
Jeopardising the Therapy Goal by Not Providing the Necessary Free Movement
Check if the system joint moves freely in order to avoid restrictions of the joint function. Use suitable
sliding washers according to the information in these instructions for use.
Limitation of the Joint Function Due to Improper Processing
Errors in processing can impair the joint function. Pay particular attention to:
- correctly connect the system anchor with the system joint in accordance with the production technique;
- grease the joint components only slightly and
- adhere to the maintenance intervals.
