Össur FLEX-RUN FSX008xyy Mode D'emploi page 5

• Consult with your Össur clinician before using the running foot for
the first time.
• Check for best symmetry of gait.
• Stride length can be affected by A-P alignment and vertical deflection
socket to foot.
• Vertical deflection is between 25 mm (1") and 50 mm (2") on average.
SOLE ATTACHMENT (Figure 5 & 6)
• Slide the Nike sole on to the foot and make sure all the clips go over
the foot.
• Pull the rubber strap of the sole over the medallion and slide it under.
When detaching the sole, start by pulling the strap away from the
medallion, then slide the sole off the foot.
• For tighter fit of the sole or to reduce noise bond insert inside sole
using Loctite, keep under pressure for 10 minutes cure

TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure socket fit and suspension are ideal. Symmetry in running
should be assessed in the optimal individual speed phase.
If the duration of loading the prosthesis is longer than the contralateral
side:
• Foot module is too soft
• Prosthesis is too short
• Foot is too far anteriorly aligned
Duration of loading the prosthesis is shorter:
• Foot module is too stiff
• Prosthesis is too long
• Foot is too far posterior aligned
TRANSFEMORAL ATHLETE CONSIDERATIONS
Moving the foot in A-P position will affect hip flexion, stride length and
trunk motion.
WATERPROOF

temporary (<30 mins.) submersion of up to 1m in fresh water. Exposure
to fresh water under these circumstances shall have no harmful effect.
Dry thoroughly after contact with fresh water. Fresh water: Includes tap
water. Excludes salt and chlorinated water.
The components used with the foot need to be waterproof as well.
