Reason 3: The leg extended too vigorously

When the leg is vigorously extended at the end of the swing phase, reaching full extension might lead to the foot move onwards into dorsal

flexion due to inertia. Prior to putting the foot on the floor. If enough dorsal flexion is reached the knee joint is unlocked. A less vigorously

swing is advised. The user must be further advised on this. Your PT can help.

POINTS OF ATTENTION:

•

The orthosis is adjusted to the footwear at hand at that time. Changing shoes and hence the heel raise will change the timing of unlocking.

•

Are the pelottes pinching your leg or are you experiencing sensitive skin underneath your brace? Possibly some fitting alterations might

help to prevent this. Contact Ambroise, or your orthotist.

•

If the hinge becomes hot then usually this means the joint has too much friction. Please stop using the orthosis, do not use lubricant, but

contact your orthotist. Usually this is due to incorrect alignment of the orthosis.

MAINTENANCE

Necessary maintenance extends the life of the product. The timely replacement of simple and relatively inexpensive parts helps to reduce

wear and tear on expensive and more difficult to replace parts.

Desired maintenance is also important for lasting high wearing comfort by replacing in a timely manner the parts that are in direct contact

with the skin, such as straps and pelottes.

When you notice the orthosis to not work smoothly, it is strongly advised not to lubricate hinges with oil or other lubricants. This seems to

help initially, but greasy substances will attract dust and dirt, which will cause even more problems. In addition, lubricants can cause dirty spots

in clothing. It is advised to clean the hinges with a degreasing product such as alcohol, acetone or similar products or contact the orthotist.

The straps can be washed. Please remove the straps from the orthosis. Make sure to close the Velcro in order to prevent cloth from sticking

to it. You can use a laundry bag at temperatures of max 30°C. Additional parts of the orthosis can be cleaned using a damp cloth.

REPLACEMENT OF SPARE PARTS

It may occur that parts of the orthosis need to be replaced. Of course you can order these from us. Please contact us and we will send a

replacement part.

If you have the feeling the orthosis is too tight (pinches) or too loose (slips) it is important that the orthosis will be properly fitted by your

orthotist.
