1- Description and functions

Dyna C foot includes three main component. Two composite parts: a C-form malleolus

that allow energy storage and retirn, and a sole providing flexibility on the side, wich en-

sure adaptation to the ground. A polyurethane cosmetic shell which transfer the mecani-

cal stresses between the ground or the shoe and the composite structure. Thanks to

these components, the foot behaviour is flexible and dynamic.

For patients who are active, or very active (children for exampl e), or reach the weight

and activity limits of the module selection guide, a stop can be used to limit warping of

the C-malleolus. This stop comes with the foot and must be installed by the prothesist.

2- Spécification

Dyna C foot is designed exclusively for lower limb prostheses. It is

appropriate for active patients up to 125kg, or very active patients

up to 105kg.

Dyna C foot is designed for a 10mm helle. It include a male pyra-

mid that allow for the use of standard connectors available on the

market. Thanks to these connectors, the heel height can be easily

modified from 0 to 20mm

3- Montage (sans le patient)

A) Gluing of the stop (if necessary):

Remove the foot from its cosmetic

shell, th »en take the sock off. De-

grease the faces that will be glued, let

them dry, then apply epoxy glue on

boyh faces

B) Assembling: Place under the foot a wedge of the same height as the shoe

heel. Fix the female pyramid connector to the foot taking care that its axis be

perpendicular to the ground (fig1).

4- Alignment (with the patient):

Place the foot so that the load line goes through the posterior third of the foot (fig. 2).

Load line :

≈ 1.5 cm in front of

the pyramid axis

Notes:

- Increasing equinus provides a more dynamic alignment. It increases energy return at step completion

- If the foot seems too long during transfer to the forefoot or if the heel support is too flexilble, you have to position the

foot behind the socket.

- If heel support seems too hard, or if the foot seems too short during transfer to the forefoot, you have to position the

foot ahead the socket.
