General Preparations
1. Have the patient take his place on the saddle.
2. Position the saddle such that an angle of approx. 170 degrees exists between the ex-
tended axis of the upper body and the thigh when the pedal is at its lowest position. Ask
the patient to stand on the pedals while you adjust the saddle position. Saddle height is
adjusted by loosening the saddle clamp screw and moving the saddle to the correct
position.
3. Move the handlebar to a position such that the test subject can comfortably sit upright.
To do this, loosen the handlebar height clamp handle and adjust appropriately. Next you
can adjust the angle of the handlebar by loosening the handlebar angle clamp handle.
4. Check to see that all of the adjustment clamps are again secure. (Don’t tighten these
with extreme force)
5. Put the blood pressure cuff on the patient’s arm. Position it so that the microphone
(marked with a red ring) is right over the Ateria Brachialis on the inner side of the upper
arm. Be sure that the cuff is not placed in a way that it can touch another object when
the patient has placed his hand on the handlebar.
