It is the purpose of the adjustment
procedures to accommodate the
patient in the most comfortable position
possible.
• Press on the indexing knob (12) and
make sure that it locks into place after
the adjustment.
Before opening locking screw (14), hold
the moving part of the CPM device by
grasping the holding tube for the length
adjustment (17), to prevent the part
from falling down.
• Adjust the height so that the axis of
motor A is level with the pivot of the
shoulder joint (see illustration on page
16). The pivot of motor A and the
pivot of the shoulder joint must be on
the same level.
• Tighten the locking screw.
The device for adjustment of the upper
arm length is self-locking.
During adjustment, slightly lift motor B
and ensure that the insertion tube does
not wedge in the holding tube.
• Loosen clamping lever (18) and
slightly lift the motor during adjust-
ment.
• Tighten the clamping lever.
In most cases an angle of 90° to 60° is
adjusted for elbow flexion.
• Loosen locking screw (20). To facilitate
the adjustment, slightly lift motor B.
• Complete the adjustment and tighten
the locking screw.
• Loosen clamping lever (26) and pull
out the handle until the forearm can
easily be accommodated between
elbow support and handle.
• Tighten the clamping lever.
• Place the patient's arm on the
armrest.
• Check adjustments 1 through 5 to
ensure that
– the pivot of motor A and the pivot
of the shoulder joint are on the
same level
– the axis of motor B, the center of
the elbow joint and the center of
the shoulder joint form a straight
line.
To adapt the armrest even better to
the patient, you can also adjust its
height and inclination. To do so,
loosen the locking screw (28) below
the armrest.
• Check that all locking screws are
tightened and all clamping levers
properly closed.
Checking the setup, fine adjustment
Note!
The armrest inclination can be adjus-
ted until optimally suited to the arm.
To do so, loosen the locking screw
(28) below the armrest. Adjust the
inclination and tighten the locking
screw.
