Calibration
Important: The RHEO KNEE should be calibrated before each new fitting, even when new from the box.
Improper calibration affects the knee’s ability to perform optimally and may compromise the user’s safety.
1. Joint Angle 2. Posterior Load 3. Anterior Load
To perform Calibration (Figure 6):
1. Ensure there is NO LOAD on the knee. DO NOT connect the socket to the knee.
2. Ensure the knee is FULLY extended.
3. Press the “Calibrate” button. Calibration is complete when a sound/vibration signal comes from the
RHEO KNEE.
Important: The following values on “Calibrate” are acceptable ranges for angle and load. If the calibration values
are out of the given ranges, calibration is required.
Joint Angle (0 to 3)
Posterior Load (-2.5 to 2.5)
Anterior Load (-2.5 to 2.5)
