Check the prosthetic knee joint according to the section "Checking the Factory Settings" (see
Page 29).
Position the alignment reference point
the alignment apparatus according to the following values:
Height of the alignment reference point in the alignment apparatus:
MTP-floor measurement + 20 mm
a–p positioning of the alignment reference point to the alignment reference line:
0 mm
m–l positioning, centre of the prosthetic knee joint to the frontal alignment reference line
0 mm
External rotation of the prosthetic knee joint:
approx. 5°
INFORMATION: If the length-adjustable 2R45=S Tube Adapter (max. body weight 100 kg)
is used in the alignment of the test prosthesis, the required length for the definitive pros
thesis is easier to determine.
When using the included tube adapter, note the section "Adapting the Length of the Tube
Adapter" (see Page 26).
Connect the prosthetic knee joint to the prosthetic foot and chosen adapters according to their
instructions for use and the section "Installing the Tube Adapter" (see Page 26).
Position the 743A80 50:50 Gauge on the lateral side of the prosthetic socket and mark a point
respectively in the distal and proximal area.
Using these points, mark the lateral centre line of the prosthetic socket.
Mark the tuberosity height as the tuberosity reference point
Clearly mark the lateral socket reference point
point.
Position the tuberosity reference point
floor measurement.
CAUTION! The correct position and flexion of the prosthetic socket is crucial for the
safety of the patient and functionality of the prosthetic knee joint, and avoids premature
wear.
INFORMATION: The 4R118 Adapter Plate (max. body weight 125 kg) can be used for fur
ther posterior placement.
Position the prosthetic socket so the lateral socket reference point
reference line
Adjust the socket flexion angle β depending on the hip flexion contracture (angle α) according to
the following specifications:
If the angle α = 0°, the optimum value of the angle β = 3 to 5° to the alignment reference line.
If the angle α > 0°, the optimum value of the angle β = α+5 to 10°.
To fabricate the prosthetic socket for the 3R106-Pro=KD, observe the section "Fabricating the
prosthetic socket" (see Page 27).
Position the lamination anchor or socket adapter so that all prosthetic components between the
socket and prosthetic knee joint can be connected to each other correctly.
Join the prosthetic socket and the prosthetic knee joint using the adapters you selected.
Be sure to follow the adapter instructions for use during adjustment and installation.
Position the 743A80 50:50 Gauge on the anterior side of the prosthetic socket and mark a point
respectively in the distal and proximal area.
Using these points, mark the anterior centre line of the prosthetic socket.
Clearly mark the anterior socket reference point
