riage will first move to the programmed
extension limit and then to the pro-
grammed flexion limit.
Subsequently the carriage reverses 5°
toward the extension angle and then
moves very slowly back again to the
programmed flexion limit (display =>).
After that it attempts to stretch the
joint another 5°, moving even slower
than before (display >>).
If a high resistance toward the addi-
tional 5° is sensed, the reverse-on-load
function is automatically activated
and the device moves in the opposite
direction.
This stretch cycle is repeated 10 times.
After that the carriage moves to the
programmed extension limit and re-
starts the stretching in flexion cycle.
It is not possible to activate the special
"stretching in flexion" and "stretch in
extension" functions at the same time.
Note!
If a flexion pause is programmed when
you enable the function, the carriage
will stop for the duration of the pause
each time the maximum stretching
value is attained.

Workout protocol
With the special "workout" function, a
series of special, programmed protocols
can be completed in one session.
The program includes the following
protocols in a given sequence: warm-up,
stretching in extension, EROM repeat
extension, stretching in flexion, EROM
repeat flexion, and cool-down.
The entire workout protocol takes
approx. 38 – 40 minutes . to complete.
− 5-minute protocol: Warm-up
Starting from the middle position, the
range of motion is gradually increased
toward extension and flexion in steps
of 1°.
− 5-minute exercise according to
programmed settings
− 5-minute protocol:
Stretching in flexion
− 5-minute protocol:
EROM repeat flexion
− 5-minute protocol:
Stretching in extension
− 5-minute protocol:
EROM repeat extension
− 5-minute exercise according to
programmed settings
− 3-minute protocol: Cool-down
The cool-down protocol is the warm-
up protocol of the workout mode
reversed. Starting from the maximum
values, the carriage reduces the range
of motion by 1° until the middle posi-
tion is reached.
The device switches off, when the
protocol has been completed.
The indicated minutes are approxi-
mate values. Depending on the pro-
grammed maximum range of motion,
the times may vary.
n
Comfort protocol
With the special "Comfort" function, the
range of motion is gradually extended
until the patient attains the maximum
programmed extension and flexion
values.
For this protocol, the maximum values
are programmed first, then the special
function is activated and, eventually, the
treatment is started.
The ARTROMOT®-K1 Comfort will now
complete 5 cycles in both directions
with the maximum programmed values
minus 5°. Then the range of motion is
increased by 1° per cycle in both direc-
tions until the programmed limit values
are reached. Once the limit values have
been attained, the CPM device contin-
ues in the programmed range of motion
until the end of the therapy session.
LEVEL 4:
n
EROM
repeat extension
The special "EROM repeat extension"
function allows a more efficient exercise
in the last 10° before the set maximum
extension value.
For this protocol, the CPM device starts
midway between the set extension and
flexion values. It will first move to the
programmed flexion value and then to
