7) Apply double-sided adhesive tape to the lower side of the footplate.
8) Lay the crepe sole onto the marked contour.
9) Glue the footplate onto the crepe sole so that the lines of the footplate line up with the
crosshairs.
10) Put the footplate with crepe sole into the shoe.
11) Mark the spacer washer with chalk.
12) Ensuring it is plumb, press the prosthetic socket onto the footplate in order to transfer the
marking. Make sure the plumb lines are positioned vertically.
13) The marking helps adjust an initial a – p position of the footplate to the prosthetic socket in the
alignment apparatus.
14) Remove the footplate from the shoe.
Clamping in the alignment apparatus (photos see 646T113*, Section 3.2.2)
1) Position the footplate in the foot adapter unit on the alignment table.
2) Set the effective heel height of the shoe.
3) Set the external rotation.
4) Transfer the lateral and medial markings onto the edges of the footplate at 90 degrees to the
walking direction.
5) Clean the footplate and the roughened area of the prosthetic socket with isopropyl alcohol.
6) Clamp the prosthetic socket in the alignment apparatus and align it according to the frontal
and sagittal plumb lines.
7) Lower the prosthetic socket.
8) Adjust the footplate adapter with the footplate in the a – p direction so that the lateral mark­
ings line up with the spacer washer .
Gluing the prosthetic socket to the footplate (photos see 646T113*, Section 3.2.3)
1) Mix Orthocryl sealing resin and talcum powder to make a firm putty.
2) Add the hardener.
3) Apply a dot of putty onto the footplate.
4) Lower the prosthetic socket onto the footplate.
5) Allow the putty to harden.
6) Remove the joined components from the alignment table.
7) Use a marker to transfer the outline of the footplate onto the crepe sole.
8) Before applying more putty, pull the crepe sole off the footplate.
9) Add putty to the joint between the prosthetic socket and the footplate so that the unit can with­
stand a dynamic trial fitting.
10) Allow the putty to cool.
11) If desired tear-resistant adhesive tape may be used to secure the glued joint between the foot­
plate and prosthetic socket.
12) Glue the crepe sole back onto the footplate in the marked position.
5.5 Trial Fitting of the Prosthesis
Donning the prosthesis (photos see 646T113*, Section 3.3.1)
1) Apply the prosthetic socket and secure it with adhesive tape or strap material.
2) Use filler (e.g. foam) to stabilise the footplate in the shoe.
3) Put on the shoes.
Checking the static alignment (photos see 646T113*, Section 3.3.2)
► Use the L.A.S.A.R. Posture to optimise the static alignment based on the available technical
information.
Checking the alignment in the dynamic trial fitting (photos see 646T113*, Section 3.3.3)
1) Only test the prosthesis during normal walking since the glued joint is not designed for great­
er stress.
