STABILITY ADJUSTMENT (Fig 2)
To increase dynamism
- Use the different adjustment screws of the connectors to bring the load line closer to the knee joint axis (near 0), but not over it, and/or bring
the knee joint axis forwards.
- Check the alignment with an appropriate tool (plumb line or laser).
Note : This type of alignment decreases stability, which eases knee flexion during walking.
To increase stability
- Use the different adjustment screws of the connectors to bring the load line away from the knee joint axis (up to 10 mm) and/or bring the
knee joint axis backwards.
- Check the alignment with an appropriate tool (plumb line or laser).
Note : This type of alignment increases stability, which makes the patient feeling safer during walking.
Note: The KD model of this knee (connection with M36x1.5 thread) does not allow the stability to be modified. The socket should be made
accordingly.
