8.1 Setting the heel height

The heel height of the prosthesis must be set on a level surface. A sloped ground surface distorts
the heel height measurement and leads to improper control of damping behaviour.
A heel height that is too high may cause control of the prosthetic foot to function incorrectly
because of too little motion in the ankle joint. This occurs especially in case of small feet, heels
that are moved forward, when walking down stairs and ramps, and standing on surfaces that are
sloping downwards. The maximum heel height in the section "Technical data" must therefore be
taken into account (see Page 71).

8.1.1 Setting heel height using motion pattern

1) Put on shoes with the new heel height.
2) Stretch out foot with the prosthetic foot sideways.
3) Swing the foot to the side three times.
→ A beep signal will sound to confirm that the motion pattern has been recognised.
4) Put feet at the same level and make sure the heel and toes are resting on the ground surface.
5) Distribute weight on feet evenly.
→ A confirmation signal will sound to indicate that the new heel height was successfully stored.
INFORMATION: If there is no feedback (e.g. beep signal), this indicates that the new
heel height could not be stored. Repeat the heel height measurement.
