Modes - PROTEOR Freedom QUATTRO Instructions D'utilisation

11.10. Modes

Sitting Mode:
The QUATTRO features two available behaviors when sitting, and
the adjustment is found under the "Tools" tab along the bottom
of the GaitLab and Freedom Innovations apps. With Sitting Mode
turned on (default), when the knee is unweighted and the thigh
reaches a 90 degree angle or greater, the knee flexes without
resistance. With Sitting Mode off, the knee will continue to have
hydraulic resistance to flexion independent of thigh flexion angle.
Note: if Sitting mode is turned off, it will also disable Cycle Mode
and Obstacle Assist.
Obstacle Assist:
Obstacle Assist can be turned off or on during full programming,
and in the GaitLab App under "Setup" and "Adjust" after full
programming is completed. With Obstacle Assist turned on
(default), the knee will flex with no resistance when the thigh
reaches 35 degrees of flexion or greater and is unweighted. This
is helpful for stepping over tall objects or entering a high vehicle.
When Obstacle Assist is turned off, the knee will flex slowly with
hydraulic resistance when unweighted independent of thigh
flexion angle. Note: if Sitting Mode is turned off, it will also disable
Obstacle Assist.
Cycling Mode:
In Cycling Mode, the Knee will enter in low resistance when the user's
thigh is near the horizontal plane (this position occurs when getting
on the bike or during normal pedaling). The Knee will remain in low
resistance until the user puts weight on the unit in full extension
(triggering the QUATTRO to return to normal walking mode).
Note: if Sitting mode is turned off, it will also disable Cycle Mode.
Golf Mode:
Golf Mode allows you to limit the amount your knee flexes while
playing golf. After selecting golf mode in the Freedom app as the
alternate mode, navigate to the adjustment screen. On this screen
you will have 3 choices for different degrees of flexion that will be

allowed. Each of these can be customized by pressing the "+" or
"-". This allows you to have 3 custom settings for the amount of
flexion needed for a particular golf swing.
!
IN GOLF MODE THE KNEE WILL ONLY FLEX TO
THE DEGREE THAT HAS BEEN CHOSEN IN THE APP. DESCENDING
STAIRS AND SLOPES SHOULD BE AVOIDED WHEN IN GOLF
MODE.
Stance Lock:
The QUATTRO features a Stance Lock for stability on a flexed
knee. When the user stops the thigh at a flexion angle and
weights the knee, it will automatically lock further flexion. The
lock will automatically disengage when the thigh moves in an
extension moment or the knee is unweighted.
Note: Stance Lock is available from 0-70° of flexion.
Engaging the Flexion Lock:
To engage flexion lock, in any Activity Mode, double click the
mode button to engage the flexion lock. The button lights
up with a solid white light to indicate that the Flexion Lock is
engaged. When the lock is engaged, the knee can straighten
but it cannot bend any further than the current angle. If the knee
is straightened to a more upright position, the lock re-engages
at the new angle. The knee will remain locked at this position
until the knee is straightened or the flexion lock is disengaged.
The solid white light remains on as long as the Flexion Lock is
engaged.
Note: When the Flexion Lock is engaged and the knee is
unweighted, it will be locked in both flexion and extension.
Disengaging the Flexion Lock:
With the lock engaged, double click the mode button to
disengage the Flexion Lock. The solid white light now turns
off, indicating that the Flexion Lock has disengaged. The knee
returns to the currently selected Activity, i.e. Walking. Note:
Stance Lock is available from 0-70° of flexion.
