patient.

LOCTITE® 243 medium strength.

Adjustment Options on the Orthosis

An orthosis with adjustable system ankle joints (fig. 8) can be individually
adapted to the pathological gait. The adjustments described in paragraph
9.1 do not influence each other and can be changed separately.
Mind the correct adjustment of the dorsiflexion stop when mount-
ing the system ankle joint. It is decisive for the entire alignment of
the orthosis.

Adjustments on the Spring Unit

There are spring units with disc springs (2) and pressure springs (3). The alignment of the orthosis can be
adjusted by screwing and unscrewing the spring units (1; fig. 8). The spring force can be changed with spring
units in different strengths.
