NOTICE
Grinding the prosthetic foot
Premature wear resulting from damage to the prosthetic foot
► Do not grind the prosthetic foot.

5.2.2 Static Alignment
•
Ottobock recommends checking the alignment of the prosthesis
using the L.A.S.A.R. Posture and adapting it as needed.
•
If necessary, the alignment recommendations (TF modular leg
prostheses: 646F219*, TT modular leg prostheses: 646F336*)
may be requested from Ottobock.
5.2.3 Dynamic Trial Fitting
•
Adapt the alignment of the prosthesis in the frontal plane and the
sagittal plane (e.g. by making angle or slide adjustments) to
ensure an optimum gait pattern.
TT fittings: Make sure that physiological knee movement in the
•
sagittal and frontal plane is achieved when the leg begins to bear
weight after the heel strike. Avoid medial movement of the knee
joint. If the knee joint moves in the medial direction in the first half
of the stance phase, move the prosthetic foot in the medial direc
tion. If the medial movement occurs in the second half of the
stance phase, reduce the exterior rotation of the prosthetic foot.
