5.2.3.1 Optimising the heel characteristics
The heel characteristics are optimised by using heel wedges. In case the heel strike or heel con­
tact is too soft during the mid-stance phase, the heel can be stiffened by means of a heel wedge.
Two heel wedges are available (transparent=soft, black=hard). Ottobock recommends starting
with the transparent heel wedge.
1) Align the recesses in the heel wedge, in the proximal and posterior directions.
2) Slide the heel wedge into position between the attachment spring and heel spring until it
engages (2325179).
3) To remove the heel wedge, push it out to the side.
► If the heel wedge has been replaced: Train the prosthetic foot again in the Galileo™ app
to set the modified behaviour of the prosthetic foot as the reference value.

6.1 Functional description
Walking on even surfaces
To make rollover easier, the ankle unit of the prosthetic foot has about 2° of mobility for plantar
flexion and dorsiflexion. Other than that, the prosthetic foot has no expanded rollover function.
The prosthetic foot adapts to different walking speeds. For slow walking, the prosthetic foot sets
slight dorsiflexion. This increases the ground clearance and makes the rollover easier. Fast walk­
further settings can be configured with the Galileo™ app
