Set Up Length
Note: Shin blade should be vertical when used
with a 10mm heel height shoe. Lower heel
height shoes may require the use of a packing
piece below the heel.
Cut shin to approximate length, allowing 10-
15mm for final trimming. Note trial length
will typically include 5mm to allow for axial
compression of heel and toe.
Build Line
This should fall 1/3 of the foot length from the
heel.
Dynamic alignment
Coronal Plane
Ensure that M-L thrust is minimal by adjusting
relative positions of socket and foot.
Sagittal Plane
Check for smooth transition from heel strike
to toe off. Ensure also that when standing the
heel and toe are evenly loaded and that both
are touching the floor.
Trans-femoral Alignment
Align trans-femoral devices according to fitting
instructions supplied with the knee, keeping
the build line relative to the elite blade as
shown.
