2.2 Function

The product is an orthopaedic technology device that makes everyday activities such as standing
and walking possible or easier for the user. If the user's activity level increases in the course of
use, adjustments are required. Changes will also have to be made if the user's physical condition
worsens and more support from the product is needed.
This product features microprocessor control of the stance and swing phase (SSCO).
The microprocessor uses the measurements of an integrated sensor system as a basis to control
a hydraulic unit that influences the extension and flexion resistance of the product.
These sensor data are updated and evaluated 100 times per second. As a result, the behaviour of
the product is adapted to the current motion situation (gait phase) dynamically and in real time.
Thanks to the microprocessor-controlled stance and swing phase, the product can be individually
adapted to your needs.
In order to do so, the product is adjusted by the O&P professional using an adjustment app.
The product features MyModes for special motion types (e.g.cycling ...). These are pre-con­
figured by the O&P professional using the adjustment software and can be activated using the
Cockpit app (see Page 84).
In case of an error in the sensor system, hydraulic control or when the battery is empty, safety
mode makes restricted operation possible. Resistance parameters that are predefined by the
product are configured for this purpose (see Page 86).
The microprocessor-controlled hydraulic unit offers the following advantages
• Approximation of the physiological gait pattern
• Stability while standing and walking
• Adaptation of product characteristics to various surfaces, inclines, gait situations and walking
speeds
Essential performance of the product
• Stability in the stance phase
1. Long button press: turns the component on/off (see Page 83)
Short button press: queries the status (see Page 92)
2. Displays the charge level of the integrated battery (see Page 70)
3. Maintenance required (see Page 92)
4. Long button press: turns the Bluetooth function on/off (see Page 84).
Short button press: if the Bluetooth function is on, the component
becomes "visible" for about 2 minutes so it can be detected by another
device such as a smartphone.
Under the cover at the end of the control panel: Charging receptacle to
connect the battery charger (see Page 68)
