Össur RE-FLEX SHOCK Notice D'utilisation page 5

ENGLISH
A COMPLETE RE-FLEX SHOCK FOOT SYSTEM COMPRISES THE
FOLLOWING:
• Re-Flex foot module
• Maintenance free shock module
• A replaceable external front spring attached to the shock module
• For category 9 a replaceable titanium coil spring located inside the
shock module
• Cosmetic foot cover
OPTIONS:
Re-Flex foot modules are available either as Standard (Figure 1) or Tall
(Figure 2).
WARNING: Avoid exposure to fire, excessive heat or cold. This may
damage the shock or change its function.
PYRAMID ADAPTER
Use Loctite 243 and torque to 15Nm (11ft-lbs).
FLEX-FOOT SOCK
The toe end of the sock is divided by a thread and fits within the toe split.
Upon fitting the sock, hold the top of the toe thread and slide the sock
into the toe split. The thread of the sock should rest on top of foot
module and not underneath the toe split. The sock should be loose from
the heel area.
SHOE HORN
When removing and installing the foot cover use a Flex-Foot shoehorn to
avoid damage to foot and/or foot cover.
ALIGNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure optimum function of the foot and pylon, use the following
guidelines:
1. Bench Alignment
To introduce the appropriate socket flexion and heel height: Divide the
foot length into 3 equal portions (Figure 3). The load line should fall at
the junction of the posterior and middle third portions of the foot
(Figure 3).
2. Adjusting the Shock Module
To adjust the shock module loosen lower pin on the spring (Figure 4)
and the three hex screws (Figure 8) on the attachment clamp Rotate
the shock housing until correct height is achieved (Figure 5). One full
rotation results in 8mm change in height, height can be set in half-turn
steps of 4mm.
The spring (shown in grey colour in figure 6) can be rotated 180° in
relation to the threaded tube (shown in white in figure 6) so the spring
can always be positioned at the front when adjusting the height.
WARNING: Ensure there is full engagement of the clamp and shock
module. Less than full engagement will void the warranty. Leave a
small gap between the collar and the clamp.
