CLINICAL BENEFITS
• Walking comfort

ACCESSORIES AND COMPATIBILITY
An appropriate foot shell must be mounted on the foot module (refer to our catalog).
The foot includes a male pyramid connection designed to be compatible with standard female pyramid connectors (refer to our
catalog).

ALIGNMENTS
Bench Alignment
Before installing the prosthesis on the patient:
•
Align the foot module in plantar/dorsal flexion, by inserting the foot (with foot
shell) into the shoe to account for the heel height
•
Align the socket in adduction/abduction, to ensure an appropriate angle in the
frontal plane
•
Align the socket in flexion/extension, to ensure an appropriate angle in the
sagittal plane
•
Adjust the position of the socket so that the load line falls through the center of
the pylon (see illustration)
Dynamic Alignment
To optimize roll-over from heel to forefoot, adjust the following variables:
•
Foot position in the anterior/posterior plane
•
Plantar/dorsal flexion
•
Heel flexibility
The dynamic alignment is performed in accordance with good professional practices.

ASSEMBLY
The ShockWave is pre-assembled and consists of a foot module, a Spectra sock and a foot shell. After dynamic alignment, tighten
the pyramid adjustment screws according to the specifications of the connector manufacturer. Secure pyramid adjustment screws
with a thread locking adhesive (i.e., Loctite 242).
Spectra Sock
A Spectra sock is included to protect the foot shell and minimize noise. It must be placed over the foot module before mounting
the foot shell.
Foot Shell
To install and remove the foot shell, use the Foot Shell Removal Tool to prevent damage to the foot module.
Never remove the foot from the foot shell by pulling manually. Never use a screwdriver or any other inappropriate
instrument to remove it. This could damage the foot.

ADJUSTMENTS
The heel stiffness at foot loading can be adjusted using the stiffening bumpers. The bumpers may be temporarily attached using
the pre-applied adhesive in the location indicated in the table below. The recommended location will stiffen the heel of about 1
This device is 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 and/or congenital
limb deficiencies.
This device is indicated for patients with moderate to high activity level (K3 to K4) for walking and
physical activity without excessive overload.
Maximum weight (load carrying included): 147 kg / 325 lb (See table §3)
• Possible walking on uneven ground
