CAUTION! –
Elbow Angle
Changing the elbow setting to less or more than 90° flexion
causes the setting for the upper arm length to change.
Adjusting the Upper Arm Length (Figure E)
1. Grasp the motion element on Motor B (20) and loosen the Eccentric Lever (17).
2. Make sure that the Internal Tube (18) does not jam.
3. Adjust the length and close the Eccentric Lever (17) again.
Adjusting the Elbow Angle (Figure F)
As a rule, the elbow is set to 90° - 60° flexion. For this, loosen the wing screw (19).
For easier adjustment, lift Motor B (20) slightly. After correct adjustment is made,
tighten the wing screw (19).
Setting the Lower Arm Length (Figure G)
Open the Eccentric Lever (25). Pull out the hand support until the lower arm of the
patient rests comfortably between it and the elbow support. Close the Eccentric
Lever (25).
Adjusting the Backrest (Figure H)
1. Loosen the wing Screw (10).
2. Push the backrest upright and tighten the wing screw (10).
3. This upright position allows you to twist the motion element to 0°
ante/retroversion.
4. Adjust the angle of the backrest in all other ante/retroversion settings in order
to optimize the correspondence between Motor A (15) and the rotating axis of
the patient’s shoulder joint.
