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
stabilised by the orthosis, which worsens the gait.
Limitation of the Joint Function Due to Improper Processing
Errors in processing can impair the joint function. Pay particular attention to:
- correctly connecting the system anchor with the joint case in accordance with the production technique;
- grease the joint components only slightly and
- adhere to the maintenance intervals.

Use

3.1

Intended Use

The NEURO SWING H O system ankle joint is exclusively for use for orthotic fittings of the lower extremity.
2
The system joint provides motion control and is only allowed to be used for producing an AFO or a KAFO. Every
system joint influences the orthosis' function and thus also the function of the leg. Depending on the type of
orthotic fitting and the patient's individual physical abilities, driving a motor vehicle safely should be guaran-
teed. The system joint may only be used for one fitting and must not be reused.
3.2

Indication

The indication for the treatment with an orthosis for the lower extremity is a pathological gait. This can be
caused, for example, by central, peripheral, spinal or neuromuscular paralyses, structurally conditioned de-
formities/malfunctions or surgery.
The physical conditions of the patient such as muscle strength or activity level are decisive for the orthotic
treatment. A safe handling of the orthosis must be ensured. The orthotist or qualified/trained expert selects
the appropriate system joints for the orthosis.
3.3

Qualification

The system joint must only be handled by an orthotist or qualified/trained expert.
