walking on a ramp, adaptive yielding control manages flexion depending on the angle of the ramp.
The knee joint flexes slowly if the ramp is flat, and flexes quickly if the ramp is steep.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
DSC ensures the knee will not release stance resistance during biomechanically unstable static
and dynamic conditions. Constantly checking multiple parameters, DSC ensures the optimally
timed decision for the knee to safely switch from stance to swing. Because DSC is always monit
oring knee function, multi-directional movement and walking backward are also possible without
risk of stance resistance releasing.
Adaptive swing phase control
Instantaneous adaptation to varied walking cadences and to changes of the pendular mass (e.g.
varying footgear) ensures the knee always achieves the swing flexion target angle within (+/-) one
degree. The swing phase extension and flexion resistance experienced by the user are auto-
adaptive.
The flexed and partially loaded knee will also disable the stance phase on slopes and ramps to
allow for greater knee flexion and more ground clearance in the swing phase.
9 MyModes
With the help of adjustment software, the O&P professional can activate and configure up to
5 MyModes in addition to the basic mode. These can be selected by using the Cockpit app. Only
the first 3 MyModes can be selected using movement patterns. Switching by using movement
patterns has to be activated in the adjustment software by the O&P professional.
These modes are intended for specific motion patterns or postures (e.g. inline skating, running
(jogging) ...). Settings can be adjusted using the Cockpit app (see Page 79).
9.1 Running function as configured MyMode
For running over longer periods of time, the O&P professional can configure a
"Running" MyMode which can be activated using the cockpit app or a move
ment pattern.
In this mode, every step will be performed as a running step with larger swing
phase angle and no preflexion at heel strike (PreFlex) (see Page 82).
INFORMATION
The running function will work with specialised running feet such as the 1E95 Challenger as
well as with prosthetic feet with axial compression such as the 1C61 Triton Vertical Shock. For
details on assembly and alignment please refer to the instructions for use of the foot.
Feet without axial compression are generally not suited for running.
