2. Use

2.1 Intended Use

The FIOR & GENTZ free moving system knee joints are exclusively for use for orthotic treatment of the lower
extremity. The system knee joint provides motion control and is only allowed to be used for producing a
knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO).
Every system joint influences the orthosis' function and thus also the function of the leg. Depending on the
type of orthotic treatment and the patient's individual physical abilities, driving a motor vehicle safely should
be guaranteed.

2.2 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
deformities/malfunctions or surgery.
The physical conditions of the patient, such as muscle strength or activity level are crucial 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.

2.3 Qualification

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

2.4 Application

All FIOR & GENTZ system joints were developed for everyday life activities such as standing and walking.
Extreme loads connected to activities like running, climbing and parachuting are excluded.
