ASSEMBLY AND PATIENT FITTING
A. Assembly
RUSH ROGUE 2 Foot:
RUSH ROGUE 2 EVAQ8:
RUSH ROGUE 2 H2O:
After dynamic alignment, torque pyramid adjustment screws to the manufacturer's specifications. Secure pyramid adjustment screws with
thread locking adhesive (e.g., Loctite 242).
B. Spectra Socks
A Spectra sock is provided to minimize noise and protect the foot shell/fiberglass components. The Spectra sock should be placed over the
keel and the sole plates before donning the foot shell. Spectra socks must be replaced at intervals appropriate to the user's activity level.
Failure to inspect and replace the Spectra socks may prematurely wear the foot module and will void the warranty.
The RUSH ROGUE 2 H2O should not be worn with a Foot Shell; therefore, does not include a Spectra Sock.
C. Foot Shell
When removing or installing the foot shell, always use an appropriate tool or device to minimize wear and damage, such as a shoehorn. Do
not attempt to remove the foot from its shell by pulling out by hand. This may damage the foot, voiding the warranty.
The RUSH ROGUE 2 H2O is not intended to be worn with a foot shell; doing so may damage the foot module.
D. Bench Alignment
Recommendation: Add a 3/8" wedge under back of the foot during bench alignment.
Sagittal Plane:
After determining the appropriate socket flexion and heel height, position the weight line so that it falls through the center of the foot
adapter. As the unique glass composite material provides substantially more flexibility than the other prosthetic feet, this represents
a good starting point for a bench alignment.
Coronal Plane:
After determining the appropriate socket adduction/abduction, position the weight line so that it falls through the midline of the foot
in a neutral M-L position.
E. Static Alignment
Due to the shape of the rocker sole (bottom blade), patients may experience a new sensation when seeking the midpoint of the foot. The
rocker sole allows patients to find their own comfortable static or standing position. The rocker bottom shape of the sole serves 2 primary
functions:
a. Provide a continuous and progressive point of contact throughout the entire step.
b. Eliminate any "flat" or "dead" spot.
The Prosthetist is highly discouraged from introducing wedges at this stage of alignment.
Adjustment of the A/P set screws at the proximal adapter is the more appropriate place to make changes regarding plantar flexion or
dorsiflexion, rather than the introduction of a wedge.
The foot module is pre-assembled consisting of fiberglass components (an upper blade and a continuous lower blade),
rubber heel shock bumper, a Spectra sock, and a foot shell, and a heel wedge to adjust heel stiffness.
The foot module is pre-assembled consisting of fiberglass components (an upper blade and a continuous lower blade),
RUSH Foot EVAQ8 system inside the rubber heel shock bumper, Spectra sock, foot shell, and heel wedge to adjust heel
stiffness.
The straight barb, exhaust filter, tubing, inline filter, socket right angle barb and housing, tube securing hook and loop
tape are included with the foot and will require assembly prior to use.
To connect the vacuum system to the socket:
A.
Connect a short piece of the tubing to the socket right angle barb.
B.
Install the inline filter into the distal end of the tubing (the inline filter may be placed anywhere in the tubing
run between the socket and vacuum pump heel).
C.
Connect a second piece of tubing to the distal end of the inline filter and route the tube to the medial side of
the pylon or wrap the tubing around the pylon (to prevent damage to the tube or snagging while walking).
D.
Cut the tubing to desired length and connect to the straight barb located in the recessed area of the vacuum
pump heel.
E.
Secure the tubing to the pylon using the included hook and loop tape or other appropriate tape.
The foot module is pre-assembled consisting of fiberglass components (an upper blade and a continuous lower blade),
rubber heel shock bumper, and Vibram Sole.
