Activate the footrest mechanism (movement in the leg region), by turning the
fixing lever on the outside of the seating shell (Photo
13
) anticlockwise until the
footrest can be moved. Take care not to turn the fixing lever farther than required,
as otherwise, there is a risk that the fixing lever may pop out of the thread. To
deactivate the footrest mechanism, turn the fixing lever clockwise until the foot-
rest is locked firmly into place again.
Attention:
In the event of a malfunction of the seating shell movement, always
check the pelvic mechanism first and only then the footrest mechanism!

Knee Support (optional)
In conjunction with the pelvic belt,
the knee support (Photo
14
) is an-
other important element for the
correct functioning of the AKTIV-
LINE Standard. With the help of the
knee support, the patient has the
possibility to utilize the dynamic
footrest system. The footrest dy-
namic is supported by the use of the
foot spats, which will be discussed
in the following section.
The following points are important when adjusting the knee support:
1
. The knee support should be adjusted to sit directly beneath the knee cap on
the patella tendon. As the knee moves up and down when the leg is bent and
stretched, it is important that the knee joint is not impeded by the knee sup-
port in a way that could inhibit movement.
2
. The knee support should lie on the patella tendon, but not create pressure
on the area.
3
. It is important that the knee support locking mechanism is firmly set in order
to guarantee the correct placement of the support. Depending on how your
AKTIVLINE Standard is equipped, the knee support is either flexible with a
securing strap (securely mounted to one side of the shell and attached on
the opposite side with reverse rolls, padding and Velcro), or affixed with an
adjustable panel and hinges (one side securely mounted, the other operable
with a snap closure). With the adjustable panel variation, the knee support
can be adjusted in height and depth to fit the patient.
