5 Preparation for Use
CAUTION
Incorrect alignment, assembly or adjustment
Injuries due to incorrectly installed or adjusted as well as damaged prosthesis components
►
Observe the alignment, assembly and adjustment instructions.
INFORMATION
Correct alignment is crucial for the optimal function of the prosthesis!
Therefore, a test socket is first used for all of the described tasks.
INFORMATION
Optimum prosthesis alignment requires the use of a functional prosthesis component with tor
sion unit; this enables a more harmonious and comfortable gait pattern for the patient. It also
reduces wear on the prosthetic joint. Either a torsion adapter (e.g. 4R39) or a prosthetic foot
with torsion unit (e.g. 1C61) is recommended for this purpose (see the chapter "Combination
Possibilities" – see Page22).
Fabrication
The fabrication of the prosthesis is described in the chapters that follow.
1) Taking the Plaster Negative (see Page27)
2) Fabricating the Test Socket (see Page27)
→ The tasks that follow are completed with the test socket.
3) Determining the Alignment Reference (see Page27)
4) Bench Alignment (see Page28)
5) Static Alignment (see Page29)
6) Dynamic Trial Fitting (see Page30)
7) Finishing the Check Prosthesis (see Page33)
→ The tasks that follow are completed with the definitive socket.
8) Reinforcing the Prosthetic Socket (see Page33)
9) Determining the Alignment Reference (see Page27)
10) Bench Alignment (see Page28)
11) Static Alignment (see Page29)
12) Dynamic Trial Fitting (see Page30)
13) Finishing the Prosthesis (see Page34)
The 647H540 Quick Start Guide (included with the product!) contains useful information on the
fabrication process in the form of illustrations.
