Bench Alignment; Dynamic Trial Fitting - Ottobock ProCarve Instrucciones De Uso

Preparing the product for use
4) Secure the 2 shorter cap screws with Loctite® and screw into the foot pad on the side of the foot sole (mount­
ing torque: 10 Nm) (see fig. 3).
5) Attach the posterior foot pad in the same manner.

5.3 Bench Alignment

TF bench alignment
Required materials: 710D4 torque wrench, 636K13 Loctite®, 4 mm Allen key
Place the prosthetic foot on the work surface.
Connect the prosthetic foot with a tube adapter and tube clamp adapter or a double adapter.
Set the angle α for the chosen sport:
Skiing
Snowboarding
INFORMATION: When positioning the alignment reference point, take into consideration the heel height of
the ski boot or snowboard boot.
Mount the prosthetic knee joint according to the instructions for use of the modular adapter.
Position the alignment reference point (rotation axis of the prosthetic knee joint) at the height of the medial tibial
plateau to floor measurement + 20 mm.
Position the prosthetic socket on the prosthetic knee joint:
Tuberosity reference point at the height of the tuberosity-floor measurement
Set the angle β for the chosen sport and the movement style, taking the individual socket flexion into account.
Skiing and snowboarding
Compensate for any height difference due to high knee flexion by using double adapters.
Check the prosthesis alignment during the dynamic trial fitting. Make corrections if necessary.
TT bench alignment
INFORMATION
Ottobock recommends a fitting with a thigh sleeve.
Required materials: 710D4 torque wrench, 636K13 Loctite®, 4 mm Allen key
Place the prosthetic foot on the work surface.
Connect the prosthetic foot with a tube adapter and tube clamp adapter or a double adapter.
Set the angle α for the chosen sport.
Skiing
Snowboarding
INFORMATION: When positioning the alignment reference point, take into consideration the heel height of
the ski boot or snowboard boot.
Position the prosthetic socket on the modular adapters:
Observe the MPT-floor measurement and length measurement of the everyday prosthesis
Align the prosthetic socket according to the knee angle, determined by the type of sport and the movement style.
Take into account the individual socket flexion.
Check the prosthesis alignment during the dynamic trial fitting. Make corrections if necessary.

5.4 Dynamic Trial Fitting

During dynamic trial fitting, the alignment and settings of the prosthesis are checked. The flexion and extension
movement damping are adjusted to the patient's requirements.
Required materials: High-pressure air pump, Allen wrench (3 mm)
The pneumatic springs in the shock absorber control the flexion of the prosthetic knee joint and the prosthetic foot.
Their hardness is adjusted using the high-pressure air pump (see fig. 8).
Unscrew the valve cap on the shock absorber.
Screw the air pump on to the valve.
Set the desired pressure. Note that 1 bar to 2 bar of pressure escapes when removing the air pump.
Unscrew the air pump from the valve and screw the valve cap back on.
