MAINTENANCE
The Total Knee 1900 is designed for low-maintenance. It is warranted
against defective materials and workmanship for 24-months. We
recommend:
•
Total Knee 1900 be inspected every six months for signs of unusual
wear, by a prosthetist familiar with this product.
•
Stance flexion bumper must be replaced if cracked or worn,
depending on patient´s activity level.
•
If knee is subjected to excessive moisture or corrosive environment,
it's recommended to clean and lubricate the knee frequently.
CLEANING
•
Wipe knee with soft cloth moistened with small amount of
kerosene. DO NOT use solvent stronger than kerosene. If kerosene
is not available, use general purpose oil (3in1) or sewing machine
oil.
•
DO NOT dip knee or pour solvent over knee. Bearings and seals
may be damaged.
•
DO NOT use compressed air to clean knee. Air forces pollutants
into bearings and may cause malfunctions and wear.
LUBRICATION (Figure M)
Three sets of roller bearings are visible. Place a few drops of machine oil
on the roller bearings(general purpose oil (3in1) or sewing machine oil
can also be used). Move the knee several times and wipe off excessive
oil with a soft cloth. No other parts need external lubrication.
PRODUCT-SPECIFIC TRAINING
Instructing new users is essential to achieve a successful rehabilitation.
For safety, initial adjustments and gait training should be done with
patient standing between parallel bars.
LEVEL GROUND WALKING
•
Explain to the user the function of stance flexion/geometric lock.
Patients who previously wore a knee without stance flexion function
may fear collapse of knee during loading response. They must be
trained to allow the knee to move into stance flexion and not to
prevent it by strong hip extension
•
Explain the stance release mechanism to the patient. Patient's
centre of mass must be anterior to the pivot axis of knee. In this
position, very little hip flexor effort is required to initiate knee
flexion. Knee flexion will be initiated through rotation of the hip as
weight is transferred onto the ball of the foot during terminal stance.
•
Allow patient to stand in the parallel bars with their weight over the
ball of the foot. Initiate knee flexion with pelvic rotation and slight
hip flexion. Repeat several times.
•
Start walking within parallel bars. As confidence increases, start
walking outside of the parallel bars.
