2) Remove the spring dummy (item 3) and replace it with the Reaction-
Spring (item 4) (see fig. 38).
3) INFORMATION: Lubricate the spring bolt to prevent it from seiz­
ing. Then screw in the spring bolt flush with the cover (see fig. 39, see
fig. 40).
4) Put the orthosis on the patient and perform a fitting.
5) Check the sagittal alignment of the patient on the L.A.S.A.R. Posture.
6) Set the desired pretension of the spring (see fig. 41).
7) Have the patient walk while wearing the orthosis.
6.3.4 Adjusting the Reaction-module in a bilateral orthosis
When using multiple Reaction-modules in a bilateral orthosis, observe the
adjustment sequence. The stops and spring tension of the Reaction-modules
that are medially and laterally opposite each other must have the same
adjustment. Identical adjustment of the Reaction-modules 1 and 3 as well as
2 and 4 prevents deformation and damage to the orthosis.
Adjusting dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
Follow the steps described in "Installing the Reaction-module" and "Reac­
tion-module – static alignment".
The stops of the Reaction-modules are adjusted according to the fol­
lowing adjustment sequence. If a Reaction-module is not needed,
omit the corresponding instructions.
Prerequisite: The orthosis has been applied to the patient.

Prerequisite: All Reaction-modules are mounted with the spring

dummy.
1) Adjust the stop of Reaction-module 1 (see previous figure, see fig. 36)
