  When you encounter a calibration error related to the knee angle on your Otto Bock Medical Equipment, verify the patient's positioning, check for any mechanical blockages (like caught fabric), and ensure there's no extreme flexion contracture on the knee joint exceeding 10 degrees, as calibration isn't possible in such cases, and the patient cannot use the product.

  jessicacolemanAug 27, 2025
  When a calibration error occurs with toe and heel load on your Otto Bock Medical Equipment, check the following: * Confirm weight was applied to the leg with the product and there was no knee joint movement. * Ensure high footwear isn't laced too tightly, loading the spring element. * Inspect the connecting cable to the spring element plug for damage. * Verify the foot/thigh components are correctly screwed to the spring element. * Check if the spring element is bent. If so, and the connection between its halves is loose, tighten the 4 screws on the clamp adapter of the foot component. If alignment isn't restored, the spring element must be replaced. * Ensure the spring element is properly connected and its contacts are in good condition.
