Otto Bock Discovery - Adjusting the Support Angle

b) Adjusting the lower leg length of the following legrests:
• With single-panel footplate for seating shell interface (steel)
1) Loosen the clamping screws on both mounting bars (see fig.28, item1).
2) Adjust the lower leg length (continuously adjustable). The guide tubes for the footplate must remain slid onto
the mounting bars of the legrest by at least 40mm, as they could otherwise slide down and off the mounting
bars.
INFORMATION: Verify sufficient ground clearance.
3) Firmly tighten the clamping screws on both mounting bars to a torque of 1.5Nm (see fig.28, item1).
4) Check that the legrest is securely mounted.

6.9.3 Adjusting the support angle
The footplate angle setting should be chosen so that the ankle is in a relaxed, comfortable position.
a) Adjusting the support angle of the following legrests:
• Segmented (aluminium)
• Segmented for short lower leg length (aluminium)
• Elevating with ratchet joint (aluminium)
1) Loosen the clamping screw on the joint of the footplate (see fig.29, item1).
2) Set the desired footplate angle (see fig.29, item2).
3) Firmly tighten the clamping screw on the joint of the footplate to a torque of 10Nm (see fig.29, item1).
b) Adjusting the support angle of the following legrest:
• Single-panel
1) Loosen the clamping screw on the left and right joint of the footplate (see fig.29, item1).
2) Set the desired footplate angle (see fig.29).
INFORMATION: Set the same angle on the left and right joint so that the footplate is correctly posi
tioned.
3) Firmly tighten the clamping screw on the left and right joint of the footplate to a torque of 10Nm (see fig.29,
