CLEANING YOUR ALL-TERRAIN KNEE:
The knee is designed to be used in harsh environments, including water and dirty conditions. After
subjecting your All-Terrain Knee to these environments, clean it to prevent premature wear and tear.
To clean the knee, submerge it in fresh clean water or place it under running water. Dry after.
While light corrosion will not affect the function of the knee, heavy corrosion could impact the
function or safety of the unit. In the event of heavy corrosion, contact your prosthetist.

LOCKED LOCK MECHANISM
Locking Bar
Retracted
Locked: When knee
completely
straightens, the
locking bar moves
forward. This creates
stability before the
heel of the
prosthetic foot
contacts the ground.
The All-Terrain Knee can be set to manual lock mode, preventing it from bending. In this mode, the
knee will not bend during walking, sitting, or other activities.
Manual lock mode can be turned on from a standing or seated position, and will engage the next
time the knee is fully straightened.

AUTOLOCK TECHNOLOGY -HOW IT WORKS
OPERATING THE MANUAL LOCK
Unlocked:
Sufficient weight
applied on the
prosthetic toe has
moved the locking
bar into the
unlocked position,
allowing both the
knee to bend and
the prosthetic
foot to leave the
ground.
