9.4 Reading the Joint Angles

There are markings (fig. 24) on all system joints and system stirrups
which indicate the angle of the system components to each other. This
allows you to check the individual normal posture (the orthosis' basic
alignment), record the joint angle and compare later deviations.
The distances between the degree markings for each system width can
be seen in the following table.

Degree 5°

10. Notes on the Production of the Orthosis

10.1 Mounting to the System Side Bar/System Anchor

The system side bar/system anchor must be adhered
and screwed or sewed together with the joint accord-
ing to the recommended production technique (fig.
25–27). You will find more detailed information in
the Instructions for Use for Orthotists or Quali-
fied/Trained Experts System Side Bars and System
Anchors.

10.2 Grinding the Orthosis Parts

After tempering the orthosis parts, grind the laminate edges. Make sure that you do not grind the lateral
surfaces of the joint's upper part. This can damage the fit between the joint's upper part and the cover plate,
which can lead to mechanical noises and to the breakage of the feather keys with pin.
You will find information on the production techniques in the section "Online Tutorials" on our
website www.fior-gentz.com.
