7 Biomimetic Alignment
The aim of alignment is to achieve a balance point while standing and set the
hydraulically damped range of motion. The aim of damping adjustment is to fine tune
the ankle-foot roll-over stiffness characteristics until a comfortable gait is achieved.
Due to the increased range of motion provided by the ankle the user may experience
the need for more voluntary control and initially find the ankle disconcerting during
setup. This should quickly pass upon completion of satisfactory setup.
Falling backwards =
[Hyper-extension]
A-P shift too far forward
Ensure the user is not resting on the DF (Dorsiflexion)
limit when standing in an upright position.
Falling forwards =
[Hyper-flexion]
A-P shift too far back
