Assembly And Disassembly; Static Alignment - College Park sidekicks Instrucciones Técnicas

PROTECTIVE COVER ON DOME
Remove the protective cover on dome after alignment is completed and before patient leaves clinic.
ENDOSKELETAL MOUNTING
Use only high quality proximal endoskeletal components (30 mm).

ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY

1.
Use a 4 mm hex key to reduce the preload on the bumpers by turning the Stride Control adjuster
counter-clockwise. Record the number of turns for use in re-assembly.
2.
Use a 6 mm and 4 mm hex keys to remove the axial pin screw.
3.
Attach the pin guide to the axial pin. Push and rotate clockwise.
4.
Unscrew the axial pin from the pin guide and remove it from the ankle bone.
5.
Remove the ankle bone from the footplate to access the front and rear bumpers and ankle bushings.
6.
For re-assembly, lubricate the axial pin, inside and outside of the ankle bushings and ankle bushing pocket,
then reverse steps 1-4.
Do Not lubricate front and rear bumpers.

STATIC ALIGNMENT

For optimal function have the patient's weight balanced between
the toe and heel. The load line divides the foot at 1/2 heel
lever and 1/2 toe lever.
STRIDE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The adjustable Stride Control gives you the ability to customize an individual's gait timing, fine-tuning the foot's
response by either turning it clockwise/ counterclockwise. This adjustment affects both plantar and dorsiflexion
resistance without the need to change soft components.
The Sidekicks ship with a medium Stride Control setting. If new bumpers are fitted, set the preload to 2-turns
(medium preload) from the point of initial contact with the ankle bone.
If an additional 1-1/2 turns are required to attain the desired resistance, then a change in bumpers is recommended.
Torque axial pin screw to 4 N·m (36 in·lbs).
