When sitting, the prosthetic foot can go into the Relief Function to move the footplate towards the ground. When operating machines with foot pedals (e.g. a car) the foot could get stuck under the foot pedal and block it or, with the foot on the pedal, it could cause unintended vehicle acceleration.
