6.1 Additional components
Follow the alignment instructions that are
supplied with any additional components.
6.2 Static Alignment
With the flexion accommodated the build line
should pass through the center of the socket
in the sagittal (A–P) plane and through the
center of Multiflex Pyramid Ankle. Heel height
of the shoe should be accommodated and
adjusted at the serrated interface.
6.3 Dynamic Alignment
Coronal Plane
Ensure that M–L thrust is minimal by adjusting
relative positions of the socket and foot.
Sagittal Plane
Check for smooth transition from heel strike
to toe-off. Ensure that when standing the heel
and toe are evenly loaded and that both are
touching the floor.
Check that the serrations are engaged
before tightening the foot bolt.
Incorrectly engaged serrations can cause
noise, looseness, and the eventual failure
of the foot bolt.
