Maintenance
Regular Maintenance:
Check regularly to ensure all buckles, elastics and straps are intact. Check that all the joints
of the brace are moving freely, and that the wheels are rolling as they should. Check for
loose screws, and tighten if necessary. Do not change the settings; this should only be done
by Made for Movement or its representatives.
Periodic Maintenance:
Made for Movement develops and produces unique standing, training and walking aids for
disabled persons. These products are designed with moving parts to enable smooth
operation, and easy and safe use. Some of the moving parts and other key components will
get worn down during use, as these are parts that needs replacing when worn out. Typical
wear parts are listed below. Other parts can also get worn out due to the users use and/or
movement pattern, and these will also need to be replaced if worn out.
Worn down parts will typically be replaced at the follow ups (normally three times a year)
when wear is discovered using the product. Remember that cleaning and maintenance
needs to be performed for the warrantee to be valid.
Potential wear parts within the warranty period: Wheels, paddings, guide straps, shoes.
Potential wear parts between year 2 and 5*: On frame: Fork, damper, wall deflectors, strap
rollers, brace-frame locking mechanism, frame plate. On brace: Shoe-clip, ankle joint with
cam stop, calf-bow roller axle, joint bearings, brace rod, back plate padding, thorax support,
hip bow. Extra equipment with paddings, moving parts, or prone to high force can also be
subject to parts being worn out and that needs replacing in this period.
* Normally most of these parts will last for many years, however MFM enable walking in the
NF-Walker for users with a-typical movement, weight-bearing, strength and/or walking
pattern, and the pace of parts being worn down is highly individual due to the users use.
