Assembly and adjustment
Once the preparation phase has been
completed, the instruction program of how
to use the MoweGo
® can begin.
There are no predetermined settings!
The height of the underarm support is
usually adjusted according to the trunk
control ability of the patient (with good
trunk control, the underarm support should
be kept low).
Also in this case a step-by-step approach
is advisable, starting with supporting just
under the arm pits and then lowering the
support little by little.
With sufficient trunk control, the underarm
support can be removed.
It is therapeutically advisable to aim for the
position where shoulders, trunk and hips lie
in one and the same line.
It is important to convey knowledge about
the aid and its functions.
Children and adults are in general not afraid
of using the trainer. On the contrary: they
often respond with joy and exuberance and
feel like moving in all directions.
The drive of these daring persons should
not be hindered but rather be encouraged.
In the first few days of use we recommend
free handling using the MoweGo
® , in order
for the patient to become familiar with it
and its all functions.
