Application of pneumatic safety knee artificial limb for thigh：
Installation
1) Assembling：
Please assemble from socket to foot according to the illustration on “Appearance
& Specifications”, where B, D, E, and F can be swapped to other components with
same or similar functions. Since all components can be assembled by screws
and nuts, please arrange and position the matching components and fixed with
screws and nuts to complete the assembling.
2) Joint adjustment：
According to patient’s weight and movement, please modify the adj. screw on the
upper part of pneumatic safety knee joint (#51) to increase/reduce the sensitivity
on the joint brake; or modify the pry adjustment (#31) on the friction cap to
increase/reduce the sensitivity on the joint; or modify the flexion/extension
adjustable screw on the valve of pneumatic cylinder (#11) to increase/reduce the
velocity for joint-bending or -stretching.

3) Break Cushioning adjustment:
a. Turn screw 51 clockwise (max 3 turn) to adjust the sensitivity of brake
cushioning, then adjust screw 31 to achieve the optimum desirable cushioning.
b. Turn screw 51 anti-clockwise will reduce the cushioning. If the screw is already
max, do not turn any further but turn back screw (clockwise) 1/4 circle, and then adjust
screw 31 to achieve most desirable setting.
4) Important Note for ORT80 Assemble Adjustment:
a. The design of ORT-80 is different from Otto Bock and it is different in
assembling. Please follow the instruction manual (ORT-80 installation). The center line
of knee should be 90°-91° and the weight bearing line should be adjusted to 90°-84°
(refer ORT-80 installation). Do not install knee with Otto Bock installation method as it
will damage the internal structure of knee in long run.
b. Do not adjust screw 51 anti-clockwise excessively as it will cause over
cushioning. Adjust screw 31 to reduce this over cushioning although the cushioning
will still function because after some time, the cushioning internal structure will be
damage because of the weight bearing loading point is not correct.

 (Put On)
1) Prepare the suitable stump sock.

2) Put on the stump sock according to the length and perimeter of the

residual limb.

3) After put on the sock(s), use both hands to put the residual limb into

the socket (A). Then, please stand up for adjusting the socket to the

correct position and buckle up the belt to walk.

4) To reduce the crimp and pressure on the residual limb during walking,

please arrange the stump sock and thin sock evenly until there is no

crease.

5) During walking, the residual limb with the socket should be a straight

line when the leg appeared to be the upright position.

(Take off)
1) Loosen the belt.

2) Remove the socket from the residual limb and sit down.

3) Take off the sock(s) for residual limb in sequence.

 Training Demonstration
1) After the artificial limb was made, a specialist should guide the patient and
demonstrate how to put on the residual limb.
2) A practice area equipped with guardrail was located in the assembling agency and
has trainers to provide walking-training guidance.
3) The length of training period for every patient varies from a week to months, based
on the location of injury, age, and physical strength.
4) The patient can practice at home ONLY when the patient can walk with walking
aid.

Caution
1) PLEASE follow the standard wearing instructions given by the physical therapist,
DO NOT change the wearing direction.
2) Please change the inner socks daily. (Recommendation: Hand wash the sock
and let dry in the wind)
3) The first supply socket should be wiped once every two days with water or
medicinal alcohol.
4) It is suggested to take off the artificial limb to relax ten minutes (differed in every
case), and massage or pat the residual limb for every four hours wearing.
5) Please prepare extra socks for replacement or adjustment when working or
traveling. (The sock needs to be replace if it was sweated)
6) When resting, the socks and shoe needed to be removed from the artificial limb
for air circulation to extend the useful life.
7) Please go to the assembling agency for adjustment and maintenance to ensure
the safety if there is any traveling plan for more than two days.
8) Annual Maintenance is essential.
9) Keep away from water, if wet the knee joint, please dry it as soon as possible.
