Risk of Falling Due to Improper Shoe/Wrong Shoe Pitch
Wear a shoe to which your orthosis is adjusted in order to avoid joint dysfunction.
Risk of Falling Due to Orthosis Adjustments
If you notice any changes on the orthosis (e.g. loosely attached joint components or changed spring forces),
immediately contact your orthotist.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Cleaning
In order to avoid a failure of the lock function, clean the orthosis and the system joint as described in this
patient information. Do not grease the system joint on your own. If necessary, consult your orthotist.
Risk of Falling Due to Walking Incorrectly with Orthosis
Consult your orthotist about the correct use of your orthosis and the particularities of the system joint. If
necessary, we recommend a physiotherapeutic gait re-education.
