6. MOUNTING AND FITTING ON THE PATIENT
A. Alignments
Static alignments:
In the sagittal plane, the load line runs via the Trochanter, between 5 and 10 mm in front of
the knee axis.
Make sure to respect the patient's flexum.
For the foot, comply with the alignment instructions from the manufacturer.
In the frontal plane, the load line will run via the middle of the knee and the foot.
Dynamic alignments:
In normal walking, after fitting the cable and the various settings set out below, the knee must
be extended during the stance phase.
Check the alignment using an appropriate tool (laser, plumb line, etc.)
B. Fitting
Tube holding collar tightening torque:
•
1M01 / 1M10: 11Nm
•
1M01-P6 / 1M10-P6: 5Nm
Adhere to the tightening order and torque of the screws on the tube (diameter 34 mm) on the -P6
version:
1.
Tighten screw V1 to 5 Nm
2.
Tighten screw V2 to 5 Nm
3.
Retighten screw V1 to 5 Nm
C. Setting
For the patient's safety, the orthopaedic prosthetist must perform the initial test with the factory
settings, between parallel bars.
The foot model used may influence the knee settings. The knee should be set whenever the foot
has been replaced.
After any maintenance operation, the knee will need to be set again.
Using a 3 mm Allen key, tighten or loosen the screw (1) until you obtain the desired setting.
Systematically check that the knee locks in extension (locking noise and lever free movement
amplitude = approx. 2 mm)
