Application - FIOR & GENTZ NEURO CLASSIC Notice D'utilisation

Jeopardising the Therapy Goal by Incorrectly Filing the System Stirrup
If you need to file the system stirrup, note all information provided in these instructions for use. Do not file
the system stirrup too far. This applies especially to the dorsiflexion stop, as otherwise the forefoot lever
will not be activated. As a result, the patient is only stabilised insufficiently by the orthosis and the gait
worsens. In order to avoid this, always file the system stirrup:
- gradually up to the required stop angles and
- only so far that no more than 10° fine adjustment is possible.
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 side bar/system anchor with the system case in accordance with the
production technique;
- grease the joint components only slightly and
- adhere to the maintenance intervals.
