Extension force range
The force range can only be set for the functions "Maintain force, static" and
"Maintain force, dynamic".
With these functions, the patient is prompted to maintain a random force for
3 seconds while the carriage is moving in the extension direction.
The range from which the force will be selected, is set under Extension Force
Range. The parameters to define are the intensity and direction of the force.
The force range can be adjusted between -30 kg and +30 kg in steps of 1 kg.
Adjustable values:
0 kg =
passive mode, extension The patient is not required to
exercise actively.
1 to 30 kg =
limits of the force range from which a random resistance
is selected that the patient is required to overcome
actively in the direction of motion (push) so as to move
the carriage in the extension direction.
-1 to -30 kg =
limits of the force range from which a random resistance
is selected that the patient is required to overcome
actively opposite to the direction of motion (pull) so as
to move the carriage in the extension direction.
Note
– The option "Hi limit = Lo limit" means that the same force setting is perma-
nently set and that the requested force will not alternate.
– It is not possible to select a setting beyond 0 (one positive and one nega-
tive value). During extension, the patient is always required either to push
in the direction of motion or to pull opposite to the direction of motion.
