5.2.4 Dynamic Trial Fitting
• Adapt the setup of the prosthesis in the frontal plane and the sagittal plane (e.g. by making
angle or slide adjustments) so that correct heel contact and optimal roll-over are ensured.
TT fittings:Make sure that physiological knee movement is achieved after the heel makes
•
impact and the leg begins to bear weight.
• Remove the adapter cover from the prosthetic foot after completion of the dynamic trial fitting
and gait training exercises.
5.2.4.1 Optimising the heel characteristics
INFORMATION
Only use the prosthetic foot with the heel wedge.
The behaviour of the prosthetic foot at heel strike and during heel contact in the mid-stance phase
can be adapted by replacing the heel wedge. The prosthetic foot is delivered with 2 heel wedges
(hard and soft). Further heel wedges in various degrees of hardness are available as a set.
Heel wedge degrees of hardness: The heel wedges are marked with numbers. The smaller the
number, the softer the heel wedge.
1) Pull the prosthetic foot apart slightly and pull out the existing heel wedge.
2) Align the other heel wedge so the Ottobock lettering is legible and the tip points to anterior.
3) Insert the heel wedge in the prosthetic foot (see fig. 2, see fig. 3, see fig. 4).
