ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY

(FOR SOCK REPLACEMENT)
Use the Foot Horn to don and doff the foot shell. Remove the CPI sock and replace as needed.
Any further disassembly or modification of components will void the warranty.

ENDOSKELETAL MOUNTING

Use only high quality proximal endoskeleton components.

STATIC ALIGNMENT

For optimal function, balance the patient’s weight evenly between the heel and toe. (Figure 2)

The Voyager was designed with a 3/8” (10 mm) heel rise.
The load line divides the foot at 1/3 heel lever and 2/3 toe lever

DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENTS

DESIRED RESULT| ALIGNMENT CHANGE| COMPONENT CHANGE
Firmer toe response| Plantar flex the Voyager or move load line posterior|

Softer toe response| Dorsi flex the Voyager or move load line anterior|

Firmer heel response| Dorsi flex the Voyager or move load line anterior| Add heel wedge
Softer heel response| Plantar flex the Voyager or move load line posterior| Remove heel wedge

*To install or remove heel wedge, refer to the Voyager Heel Wedge Kit Instructions.

TORSION ADJUSTMENTS (FIGURE 3, TOP OF FOOT)

Range of adjustment = 2 full turns
Factory setting = minimum resistance

SYMPTOM| DESIRED RESULT| ADJUSTMENT|
---|---|---|---
Rotation too fast| Less torsion moment/ Increase Resistance| Turn clockwise|
Rotation too slow| Greater torsion moment/ Decrease Resistance| Turn counterclockwise|
