C. Alignment and Setup
Follow the Prosthetist Setup Guide to properly align and adjust the device. Two installation programs, Plié Control and Plié
Gait Lab, are provided to optimize the computer settings for each patient. Verify the computer system minimum requirements
before software installation (Microsoft Windows 7 or later operating system, 1.0 MHz Processor, 256K RAM and USB Port).
D. Alignment
Careful attention to the alignment of the socket in relation to the Plié® 3 MPC Knee and the prosthetic foot is essential for a
