Static alignment

Setup length
Note: Shin pylon should be vertical when used
with a 10 mm heel height shoe. Lower heel
height shoes may require the use of a packing
piece below the heel.
Cut shin to approximate length, allowing
10–15 mm for final trimming. Note trial length
will typically include 5 mm to allow for axial
compression of heel and toe.
Build line
This should fall 1/3 of the foot length from the
heel.

Dynamic alignment

Coronal plane
Ensure that M-L thrust is minimal by adjusting
relative positions of socket and foot.
Sagittal plane
Check for smooth transition from heel strike
to toe-off. Ensure also that when standing the
heel and toe are evenly loaded and that both
are touching the floor.
Transfemoral alignment
Align transfemoral components according to
fitting instructions supplied with the knee,
keeping the build line relative to the pylon as
shown.
