FIOR & GENTZ NEURO CLASSIC-SPRING Notice D'utilisation page 39

Risk of Falling Due to Excessive Readjustment of the Spring Units/Adjusting Screw Units
Adjust the spring units/adjusting screw units according to the information in these instructions for use.
Do not make readjustments of more than 10°. Use the laser markings on the system stirrup and the joint's
upper part to check the readjustment.
Jeopardising the Therapy Goal by Not Providing the Necessary Free Movement
Check if the system joint moves freely in order to avoid restrictions of the joint function. Use suitable
sliding washers according to the information in these instructions for use.
Jeopardising the Therapy Goal by Incorrectly Filing the System Stirrup
If you need to file the system stirrup, note all information provided in these instructions for use. Do not file
the system stirrup, especially for the dorsiflexion stop, too far, otherwise the forefoot lever is not activated.
As a result, the patient's gait worsens due to a lack of stability. Therefore:
- file the system stirrup always gradually up to the required stop angles and
- do not file more than 10° later on.
Jeopardising the Therapy Goal Due to Incorrectly Adjusted Spring Units
Screw in the spring unit up to the system stirrup and do not preload the spring unit. If the stops are
reached too early or too late, either the range of motion is restricted or the patient is not sufficiently stabi-
lised by the orthosis, which worsens the gait.
Damage to the Anatomical Joint Due to Incorrect Position of the Joint's Mechanical Pivot Point
Determine the joint's mechanical pivot points correctly in order to avoid a permanent incorrect load on the
anatomical joint. Please refer to the online tutorials on our website or contact Technical Support.
Limitation of the Joint Function Due to Improper Processing
Errors in processing can impair the joint function. Pay particular attention to:
- correctly connect the system side bar/system anchor with the system case in accordance with the pro-
duction technique;
- grease the joint components only slightly and
- adhere to the maintenance intervals.
