Please be careful with the motor unit, which contains sensitive batteries, motors, and electronics. Please do your best not to drop, knock, or crush it.
Please be careful with the foot plate connecting wires. These can break easily.
Please be careful with the wire entering the torque sensor (aluminum anchor part at the ankle).
We recommend using shoes with a removable in-sole/sock liner, and removing the liner during the trial (just relying on the footplate foam).
We recommend using a fully charged battery when beginning a new trial that is expected to last >15-20 minutes.
We recommend powering off the device if a user takes a long seated break.
Please be careful when starting each new trial (if the device is not powered off) because the device settings will be active (i.e., torque may immediately be provided).
The device provides torque as a percent of the user’s body mass. We recommend starting with lower torque at first (20-25% BW), which can be entered using the “Custom” torque selection.
We recommend wrapping a self-adhesive tape (Coban or similar) under the calf cuff for individuals with sensitive skin.
We recommend storing the device with the cables straight so a to minimize excess tension being maintained for extended periods of time.
