ing leads to an adjustment in plantar flexion in order to increase the energy return of the carbon
spring.
Walking on slopes
With the first step on a slope, the prosthetic foot identifies the new situation. The prosthetic foot
adapts to the slope angle during the subsequent steps. This is intended to result in the same gait
feel as walking on level ground.
With the first step on level ground after a slope, the prosthetic foot readjusts fully to walking on
level ground. INFORMATION: The prosthetic foot is still adapted to the slope until step­
ping down. Especially when walking down slopes, pay attention to the reduced ground
clearance.
Walking on stairs
When walking up stairs, the prosthetic foot sets slight dorsiflexion to make rollover easier.
Relief function
The relief function makes it possible for the sole of the prosthetic foot to sink to the floor (for
instance when sitting with the prosthetic foot stretched forward or backward, or when standing on
slopes). This ensures a natural foot position. As soon as a load is put on the prosthetic foot, it
only permits returning to the last set position.
For further information, see the section "Relief function" (see Page 29).
Changing shoes (setting the heel height)
The user can set the heel height after changing shoes. The adjustment range is 0 cm to 5 cm.
Further information is found in the section "Setting the heel height" (see Page 28).
