PROTEOR RUSH ROVER Notice D'utilisation page 7

5. INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS
These medical devices are supplied to healthcare professionals (prosthetists), who will train the patient in their use.
The prescription is drawn up by a doctor who assesses the patient's ability to use the device.
These devices are for multiple use on a SINGLE PATIENT. They must not be used on another patient.
These devices are intended to be integrated in a custom-made external lower limb prosthesis to ensure the function of the foot
in patients with unilateral or bilateral lower limb amputation or deficiencies (transtibial/transfemoral amputation, knee/hip
disarticulation, congenital limb deficiencies). They are intended for patients who would benefit from the dynamic toe response.
This device is indicated for patients with moderate to high activity level (K3 to K4) for walking and physical activities without
excessive overload.

6. CLINICAL BENEFITS
• Walking comfort
7. ACCESSORIES AND COMPATIBILITY
An appropriate foot shell must be mounted on the foot (refer to our catalog).
The foot includes a male pyramid connection designed to be compatible with standard female pyramid connectors (refer to our
catalog).
8. ALIGNMENTS
Bench alignment
Recommendation: Add a 10 mm (
Sagittal plane:
•
Define the appropriate socket flexion and heel height.
•
Position the load line so that it falls through the center of the foot pyramid
connection.
Frontal plane:
•
Define the appropriate socket adduction/abduction.
•
Position the load line so that it falls through the midline of the foot in a neutral mediolateral position.
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.
Adjustment of the anteroposterior set screws at the proximal connector is the more appropriate place to make changes regarding
plantarflexion or dorsiflexion.
The heel wedges must not be introduced at this stage of alignment.
Dynamic alignment
The use of a slide adapter is recommended for dynamic alignment purposes, as it provides the best solution to troubleshooting
the most common alignment issues listed below:
•
Hard or soft heel
•
Hard or soft toe
•
Varus or valgus movements during stance phase
Once the optimal relative socket/foot alignment is determined, use plantarflexion or dorsiflexion at the proximal foot adapter to
optimize heel-to-toe comfort and energy return.
