5.1.2 Bench Alignment
TT bench alignment
Required materials: 662M4 goniometer, 743S12 heel height measuring
apparatus, 743A80 50:50 gauge, alignment apparatus (e.g. 743L200
L.A.S.A.R. Assembly or 743A200 PROS.A. Assembly)
Assemble and align the prosthetic components in the alignment apparatus
according to the following specifications:
Heel height: Effective heel height (shoe heel height - sole thick
ness of forefoot) + 5 mm
