SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• When the battery charge is low, proprio foot® will return to the last preset heel height position. A warning signal will occur (see “Charging and power”).

• When making adjustments to proprio foot® ensure the user is seated or in a stable standing position.

• The user should stop walking immediately if alarm signals are felt or heard. Proceed to walk with caution.

• do not use proprio foot® while the battery is charging. Be sure to disconnect it from the charger prior to putting on the prosthesis.

• Improper handling or adjustment of proprio foot® may cause malfunction that may subject the user to the risk of falling.

• High-impact activity and sports, excessive loading, and heavy-duty use should be avoided.

• avoid impact to the battery.

• ensure that the battery connection cable does not interfere with the actuator motion. Interference between the battery connection wires and the actuator can cause damage to the wires and interruption of function.

» do not use power supplies other than those provided with the device. » ensure that the Flex-Foot sock, shoe or any external load does not interfere with the actuator motion, since this can cause restriction of the ankle motion.

• Lithium-ion batteries contain hazardous metals and should never be disposed of in residential or commercial garbage. They should never be incinerated because they may explode.

• Perform field servicing at the recommended intervals, according to the instructions (see chapter “Service”). This will prevent malfunction or failure. Not following the instructions invalidates the warranty.

• avoid spillage or immersion in water (or any other fluids), use in highly electrical and/or magnetic (i.e. electrical transformers, high-power radio/TV transmitters) and dirty environments.

• avoid exposure to extreme heat and/or cold (see “Technical specifications”).

• avoid exposure to intense dust, smoke or mechanical vibrations.

• do not use if the product enclosure or covers are broken.

• do not tamper with the keypad.

• Disable proprio foot® when driving a vehicle (see “Power off”).

• Steep inclines or declines (above 20°) may trigger the stair response resulting in unexpected foot alignment.

• proprio foot® detects walking on uneven or level ground, walking on inclines and declines, climbing stairs and riding a bike. Non-identified movements may cause unexpected ankle alignments.

• Not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• Protect the foot and battery pack against water or rain, and ensure that no water enters the battery charge plug.

• Battery performance may be affected by very low or very high temperatures that may cause inconsistency in battery warnings.

• Roughen the rear aspect of the socket and then clean the surface.• Attach Velcro to the socket and the corresponding surface on the battery. (Figure C)• Press down the battery pack for secure attachment.• Reinforce the attachment of the battery module by wrapping the battery to the socket with electrical tape

or similar.

Make sure the connection cable lies flat against the surface of the prosthesis because a loose cable can get caught. Observe the cable position during walking and make changes to the assembly if necessary.

DEFINITIVE SOCKET: BATTERY ASSEMBLY

• Mark the best suitable position of the battery pack identified during diagnostic socket fitting (see chapter “Diagnostic socket: battery assembly”).

• Recommendation: Position the battery pack as proximal as possible on the rear aspect of the socket.• Check the position using the dummy (Figure D).• Follow the common lamination guidelines and position the lamination dummy as marked, with the curved

side facing towards the socket before applying the final layer.• Proceed with lamination as usual.• After the lamination has cured expose and remove the dummy (Figure E).• Apply double-sided tape on the imprinted area and attach the battery pack by pressing both surfaces

together.• Wrap any excess length of the battery connection cable around the pylon or socket connector. Make sure

that the connection cable does not interfere with actuator motion. Observe the cable position during walking and make changes if necessary to the assembly.

BENCH ALIGNMENT (Figure F)

Overview

• Fit the foot with the selected cover and shoe.• Power ON (see chapter “Power ON”).• Adjust the Heel Height to the preferred shoe (see chapter “Heel Height Adjustment”).• Proceed with alignment and corrections above the foot level.• Establish the correct height of the prosthesis using the appropriate components.• Ensure that the alignment is correct in the sagittal and coronal planes. In the sagittal plane, the alignment

reference line should bisect the center of the socket at MPT and pass through the posterior middle 1/3 mark on the foot module.

DYNAMIC ALIGNMENT AND USE OF HEEL WEDGES

Optimum functional benefits will only be achieved when the rollover function is optimized. The heel wedge can influence the heel- to-toe function. Start changing the heel resistance to improve foot response adding a heel wedge. The 2°, 4° & 6° wedges can be interchanged to customize the stiffness of the heel and achieve the desired functional characteristics. A combination of wedges may be used. Have the user walk on even ground and assess proper heel-to-toe function.

Temporary Wedge Placement (Figure G)

• Cut the wedge to the width of the foot module.• Roughen the upper and lower surface of the wedge with abrasive paper.• Place the wedge in the angle of the heel and foot module.• Secure the wedge in position with tape wrapped around the foot module.

Permanently fix wedges when proprio foot® is used for more than a couple of days. Temporarily fitted wedges will move out of position and cause functional issues. Failure to do so can void the warranty.

Page 10: PROPRIO FOOT Technical Manual

10

Permanent Wedge Placement (Figure H)

• Apply adhesive to the upper side of the wedge only.• Locate it in the foot/heel junction and position it before the adhesive sets.• For split toe feet first install the heel wedge, then remove a thin slice in the middle by cutting with a sharp

knife through the split in the carbon foot module.• Complete the dynamic alignment by performing calibration. (See chapter “Calibration”)

HEEL DIVIDER

The heel divider should be placed in the posterior portion of the split heel. To secure its position, a drop of instant adhesive can be used on one side.

Flex-foot sock FCX63007 (Figure I)

To protect the cover a Flex-Foot sock is fitted over the foot module before applying the cover. The sock should fit loosely in the heel area. To hold the Flex-Foot® sock in place attach the self adhesive velcro tabs to the sides and front of the ankle. Press the Flex-Foot® sock firmly onto the tabs to hold in place. It is important that the Flex-Foot® sock doesn’t slip down as this will cause interference with the proprio

foot® function and performance.

FOOT COVER REMOVAL (Figure J)

To remove the foot cover, grasp and pull on the Flex-Foot Sock. Hold down the cosmetic cover with a hand on the rear aspect of the cosmetic cover. The heel module will snap out of the heel clip. Continue to pull and remove the foot completely.

note: do not use a Flex-Foot® shoe horn or any other lever to remove the foot cover as this may cause damage to the ankle unit.

CHARGING AND POWER (Figure K)

• Only use the power supply, supplied for proprio foot®.

• Connect the power supply cable to the power supply (PRX60015). » Green LED turns on continuously. » Yellow LED will flash while charging.

CALIBRATION

Calibration must be performed during the initial fitting to calibrate the proprio foot® to the user’s individual gait. During calibration, proprio foot® recognizes the user’s specific gait parameters, allowing for accurate and consistent terrain detection. For calibration the user must walk on level ground for at least 15 consecutive strides without interruption.

• Have the user stand still.

• Make sure the keypad is active. » The LED blinks green and yellow (The keypad will lock automatically after 60 sec. of use).

• Make sure the user has access to a path on level ground long enough to complete at least 15 strides without interruption.

• To enable Calibration, hold down and press nine times. » The system confirms with a beep and a vibration. » The LED blinks green and yellow.

• Have the user walk on level ground at a self-selected walking speed until completion of calibration is confirmed by a beep and vibration.

» The LED blinks green. » The system is now properly calibrated to the user and enabled for normal adaptive functions.

note: Make sure the surface is completely flat. It is recommended that calibration is performed on an indoor surface. No sharp turns should be taken during calibration.

note: The user may take gentle turns during the calibration walk. If the calibration is not completed after approximately 15 strides, see below.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Ensure the correct alignment.• Ensure there are no extreme gait deviations, such as significant circumduction or rotation, as this may

prevent the completion of calibration.• Ensure consistent walking speed.• Avoid walking in a circle or sharp curves.• If calibration is not confirmed after 15 strides, you must perform calibration again.• If the alignment is changed you must perform the calibration again.• If for any reason the LED turns red the procedure must be repeated.

To cancel the calibration, hold down and press nine times.

FUNCTIONS

INCLINES/DECLINES

• During ramp ascent, proprio foot® gradually raises the toe of the prosthetic foot. Adaptation begins on the second step and makes small changes until it reaches the gradient of the ramp. proprio foot® continuously adapts on every step.

» Dorsiflexion of the foot during ramp ascent reduces socket pressure and strain on the ligaments.

• During the swing phase, proprio foot® will raise the toe to provide additional ground clearance.

• It is not necessary to lead with a particular limb when ascending ramps.

• During ramp descent, proprio foot® lowers the toe of the prosthetic foot. » This helps to increase safety and gives better support during roll over of the prosthetic side.

note: Steep inclines or declines (above 20°) may trigger stair response resulting in unexpected ankle adaptation.

STAIRS

• During stair ascent, proprio foot® will raise the toe. This will facilitate stair ambulation and improve gait symmetry.

• When leading with the prosthetic side, proprio foot® will adapt to this position after the second prosthetic step on the stairs.

note: Pay attention to transitions from and to stairs.

When proprio foot® is activated for the first time, the default manufacturer settings will be enabled. In the default manufacturer settings, the stair response is preset to 4° dorsiflexion.

To change the stair response, press the following sequence: (Figure N)

• To change stair response from 4° to 6°, hold down and press three times.

» The system confirms with three beeps and vibrations.

• To disable the stair response, hold down and press three times. » The system confirms with a single beep and vibration.

ADVANCED OPERATION

RELAX MODE/CHAIR EXIT MODE (Figure O)

RELAX MODE allows the ankle to move into full plantarflexion that will provide improved body symmetry to the natural limb when sitting. RELAX MODE is OFF by default.

• To enable RELAX MODE hold down and press five times.

» The system confirms with two beeps and vibrations.

• To disable RELAX MODE and enable Chair Exit Mode ONLY, hold down and press five times.

» The system confirms with three beeps and vibrations.

• To disable RELAX MODE and disable CHAIR EXIT MODE hold down and press five times.

» The system confirms with a single beep and vibration.

• Initiate RELAX MODE in a sitting position by extending the knee for at least 2 seconds.

» This provides a more natural ankle position when sitting with the lower leg extended.

Following the Relax Mode the proprio foot® will move into CHAIR EXIT MODE.To initiate this use one of the following methods:

1. Tap the heel of the foot.2. Flex the knee and place the foot beneath the chair. Lift the foot to allow the adjustment to take place.

The ankle will move to dorsiflexion that will enable the user to bring the leg further back, providing morecontrolled transition from sitting to standing. The ankle will move back to neutral after the first step.

Tapping on the heel will move proprio foot® to the next mode, i.e. tapping the heel when in RELAX MODE will move proprio foot® direct into CHAIR EXIT MODE. A second tap on the heel will move proprio foot® further to neutral ready for walking.

NEUTRAL – MAX. PLANTAR FLEXION

• To run the ankle into max. plantarflexion, hold down the upper button and press the lower button four times.

TRAINING TIPS

Start the training after the proprio foot® is aligned and calibrated. Ensure full function with all connections secured.

Charging: Train the user on how to charge the unit.

Heel height adjustment:

Encourage the user to switch shoes or try out barefoot walking using the heel height adjustment.

Curbs: Ask the user to take a long step onto and down a curb. This will limit the ankle adaptation. This will prevent false ankle adaptation.

Note: Walking across high curbs may initiate the stair response!

Sitting: Ask the user to sit down and position the shank at over 20° relative to the ground (stretch legs). To allow for the Relax Mode the prosthesis has to be slightly unloaded PROPRIO FOOT will move into a plantar flexed position (toe down).

Chair Exit Mode: Ask the user while in a seated position to move the prosthesis under or close to the chair. PROPRIO FOOT will dorsiflex (toe up) to facilitate standing up.

Level ground: Ask the user to walk at slow and fast speed. Observe the dorsiflexion in swing.

Ramps: Ask the user to walk up and down on a shallow and steep ramp. Observe the ankle adaptation and ask whether the user can sense it.

Stairs: Ask the user to walk up and down on stairs. Advise to lead with the prosthetic side upstairs and to lead with the prosthetic side when going down. This will provide stair adaptation after the first step on stairs.

Note: Instruct the user to be careful walking downstairs for the first time, since they will not be used to the dorsiflexed ankle position. Encourage the user to switch shoes or try out barefoot walking using the heel height adjustment.

Toe lift: Very slow walking speed won’t trigger toe lift.

Half step: Sharp turns, zigzagging or stepping up high curbs may cause dorsiflexion.

Power loss: Results in plantarflexion.

Motor stuck: Light tapping on the toe or heel can free it up.

Note 2 These guidelines may not apply in situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

* Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.

** Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
