Reading The Joint Angles; Mounting To The System Anchor - FIOR & GENTZ NEURO SWING H2O Notice D'utilisation

Adjustable Alignment
Always unscrew only one spring unit at a time to adjust the angle
between lower leg and foot (fig. 9). Only then, screw in the other
spring unit until it touches the system stirrup. Do not preload the
spring unit as this will restrict the maximum possible range of mo-
tion. An O-ring is attached to the external thread of the spring unit
to ensure that the position of the spring unit does not change.
Variable Spring Force
Insert a spring unit into the spring duct that corresponds with the
required spring force. There are five spring units with spring forces
ranging from normal to extra strong (fig. 10). Note that the spring
unit determines the maximum possible range of motion.

Reading the Joint Angles

There are markings (fig. 11) on the joint case and the system stirrup
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.

10. Mounting to the System Anchor

The system anchor of the NEURO SWING H
to be adhered to the system joint according to our recommended
production technique (fig. 12). It is adhered after the orthosis parts have been
tempered. Before using the adhesive set, make sure that the expiry date has not
yet passed. The adhesive set should be stored in a cool place.
Note that the orthosis should not be tempered after connecting the sys-
tem anchor to the system joint. The properties of the adhesive connec-
tion change at temperatures that are too high.
You will find more detailed information in the Instructions for Use for
Orthotists or Qualified/Trained Experts System Anchors for Waterproof
System Joints. You will find information on the production techniques in the section "Online Tutorials" on our
website www.fior-gentz.com.
