Screw the pressure screw in or out carefully to prevent the pressure spring from jumping out uninten-
tionally.

8.8 Securing the Screws

The screws are secured after the orthosis has been produced and tried on and before it is handed over to the
patient.
1 Secure the screws for the cover plate (fig. 12) with the torque corresponding to the system width and
LOCTITE® 243 medium strength.
2 Let the adhesive harden (final strength after approx. 24 hours).

The screws of the cover plate are not secured with the necessary torque at delivery. You can also find

9. Adjustment Options on the Orthosis

The orthosis with adjustable system ankle joints can be individually adapted
to the pathological gait. The adjustments described in the paragraphs 9.1 to
9.3 do not influence each other and can be changed separately.
Mind the correct adjustment of the dorsiflexion stop when
mounting the system ankle joint. It is decisive for the entire
alignment of the orthosis.

9.1 Adjustments on the Spring Unit

The alignment of the orthosis can be adjusted with the alignment screw (1).
The range of motion in plantar flexion or dorsiflexion is infinitely adjustable
with the motion limiting screw (2). The spring force can be changed with
spring units (3) in different strengths (fig. 18).
