Information about the picture
1) Locking of the prosthesis socket
A well-known means from sanitary technology is used for this purpose. The shut-off bladder can be inflated using air pressure to the point where it is able to lock the socket in place. Please note that the pressure reduction must not exceed 1.5 bar!
2) Knee joint fixation
The respective knee joint can be fixed in its intended position with the help of a centered linear guide.
3) Footrest
A horizontal contact surface, which is used for the correct position of the foot part (necessary heel height).
4) Barometer/pressure reduction
Used to check the pressure (1.5 bar) in the shut-off bladder.
5) Linear rails
Used to adjust the ML and AP position of the shaft to the knee component.
6) Vertical guidance
Used to adjust the distal and proximal position of the shaft and the centered linear guide.
7) Ball joint
The ball joint is used to adjust the abduction, adduction, flexion and extension of the socket to suit the patient’s individual measurements and the specifications of the prosthesis components. All settings of the linear rails and the ball guide can be both loosened and fixed by their respective screw connection.
8) Drawer
Used to store heel wedges, measuring tools and other necessary materials.
