Components may be changed as needed. Determine the user's firmness category, then refer to the chart below
for the recommended components.
For gait match adjustments, see section: Dynamic Adjustments.
COMPONENT
FRONT BUMPER*
ANKLE BUSHINGS*
REAR BUMPER
*Color Code: (S) Soft = Yellow, (M) Medium = Red, (F) Firm = Blue
MOUNTING
Use only high quality proximal endoskeletal components.
ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
Use the Foot Horn to don and doff the foot shell. Remove the CPI Sock and replace as needed.
1.
Use a 4 mm hex key to reduce the preload on the bumpers by turning the Stride Control adjuster counter-
2.
clockwise. Record the number of turns for use in re-assembly.
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 foreheel 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,
7.
then reverse steps 1-4. Torque axial pin screw to 4 N·m (36 in·lbs).
DO NOT LUBRICATE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS.
STATIC ALIGNMENT (Figure 2)
For optimal function, balance the patient's weight evenly between the heel and toe.
▪ The Tribute was designed with a 3/8" (10 mm) heel rise.
▪ The load line divides the foot at 1/3 heel lever and 2/3 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 Tribute ships 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.
