Attention!
The beneficial characteristics of the joint can only be optimally
used with correct prosthesis set-up. For a correct set-up, the
position of the residual limb in relation to the socket connection
must be considered.
For easy determination of the final position of lamination anchor or socket
adapter, perpendicular lines can be drawn in the front level and sagittal level
from the hip joint rotation point; when casting and fitting the test socket.
