Adapting The Leg Support Assemblies/Footplate - ARTROMOT K1 Mode D'emploi

4.4 Adapting the leg support
assemblies/footplate
1. Set the leg support assemblies and
the footplate (1, 6, 11) to the expected
positions before accommodating the
patient.
− Loosen fixation screws (8) to adjust
the footplate (11) to the length of the
patient's lower leg (Fig. C).
Loosen clamping lever (13) and adapt the
footplate's rotation and height to the
patient (Fig. D).
Loosen fixation screw (12) and adapt
the angle to the patient's foot (turn the
screw a few revolutions until the foot-
plate can be easily adjusted).
For short patients you can reverse the
footplate's bracket 180° (Fig. H) to adapt
the footplate to shorter calves:
• Loosen clamping lever (13) and
remove the footplate (11).
• Loosen the fixation screws (12).
• Reverse the bracket 180°.
• Screw the footplate to the bracket
and tighten the clamping lever.
Note!
When reversing the footplate, ensure
that the pins below the clamping lever
engage with the recesses in the bracket.
− To adjust the height of the support
assemblies for calf (1) and thigh (6),
loosen clamping levers (2) and (7)
(Figs. E/F).
2. Place the patient's leg on the carriage
and repeat the steps outlined under
1 above to adjust the device to the
patient.
