What is Intuy Modes?

Intuy Modes is a feature only available on Intuy Knee PRO.

Intuy Modes allow the user to perform activities such as snowboarding, skiing, skating, and a self-programmed activity. 

The self-programmed activity (Custom) can be configured and changed by the user for his own need.

WARNING:

  • Active sports such as snowboarding or skiing have a risk of injury.
  • Low temperature can affect the battery life, the functions, and capability of the Intuy Knee. Long-term low-temperature exposure should be avoided.
  • Intuy Knee is not waterproof, sufficient protection against snow or water is necessary for Intuy Knee to be functional.
  • Prosthetic socket and components must be checked to ensure secure connection to prevent potential injury.
  • Test the Intuy Modes on level ground, and feel the resistance provided by the knee and range of motion before going on to the snow or ice.

Display Intuy Modes on the Dashboard

Intuy Modes will be displayed on your Dashboard, when activated via the App Settings.

1. Open Menu and tap App Settings
2. Toggle on Intuy Modes
3. Intuy Modes are displayed on Dashboard tab.

Turn Intuy Modes ON/OFF, Configure Custom Intuy Modes


1. Switch on Intuy Mode ​

To switch on Intuy Mode, please follow these steps. 

1. Open the Dashboard tab.
2. Tap one of the activity icons for the desired activity.
3. Read the pop-up message and press proceed.
4. Intuy Mode is now active, indicated with 3 beeps.

Note: Intuy Knee will move to the target angle set by the preset. 

2. Switch off Intuy Mode ​

There are two routes to switching off Intuy Mode via the Intuy App or by posture-based trigger.

2.1. Switch off Intuy Mode via Intuy App​ 

To switch off Intuy Mode manually via the Intuy App, follow these steps.

1. Open the Dashboard tab.
2.  Tap the Start button.
3. Read the pop-up message and press proceed.


Note: The knee will emit 3 ascending beeps and vibrate.

4.  Intuy Mode is now turned off and the knee is in Start mode.

2.2. Switch off Intuy Mode via posture-based trigger.

To switch off Intuy Mode via a posture-based trigger, follow these steps:

1. While standing extend the hip to point the leg backwards.

Note: Do so without loading the knee.

2.  Then knee will emit 3 ascending beeps and a vibration.


3.Intuy Mode is now turned off and the knee is in Start mode.

Posture-based trigger allows the user to switch between Intuy Mode and Start mode.  After switching out of the Intuy Mode by the posture-based trigger, user can re-enter the last Intuy Mode by performing the same movement. This function is no longer available if the user has been in Start mode for 30 minutes. 


3. Customize Settings ​

It is possible to customize Intuy Mode settings for skiing, snowboarding, skating, and the custom activities. Settings that you can adjust are target angle, flexion limit, extension limit, flexion resistance, and extension resistance. 

3.1. Parameters and Their Explanation 

Extension limit: Maximum allowed extension angle; beyond this angle, the knee will be difficult to extend.

Target Angle: Spring return angle; this is the angle the knee will return to when you stop applying force to the knee.

Flexion limit: Maximum allowed flexion angle; beyond this angle, the knee will be difficult to bend.

Flexion resistance: Resistance in the flexion direction, the lower the easier to flex.

Extension resistance: Resistance in the extension direction, the lower the easier to extend.

3.2. Adjust Parameters

To adjust the parameters, please follow these steps: 

  1.  Via Dashboard tab, tap the configure button. 
  2. In the Configure page use the sliders to adjust the settings. We suggest you start with: 
    1. Target Angle
    2. Flexion Resistance
    3. Extension Resistance
  4. Save the settings by tapping the save button in top right. 

Using the Intuy Mode

How to ski, snowboard, or skate is out of the scope of this tutorial. Intuy Modes are made to emulate the behaviour of the human counterpart as much as possible. It is important that the user learns skiing, snowboarding, or skating from a professional trainer.
