Setting the width of the movement
Cursors (3) determine the two limits of the
angular movement of the mechanical arm.
They can slide along the edge of disk (14) and
are locked on it by spring pivots (15). An index
(16) is located on the cursors to allow the
operator to determine the point selected on
graduated scales (17). See Fig. 8.
If the left shoulder must be mobilized by means
of an elevation-in-flexion movement having a
width ranging from 30° to 90°:
•
select the graduated scale marked by
"Elevation LEFT seated patient";
•
by lifting spring pivot (15), position one
cursor (3) having the “ -Lower LEFT Elevation” adhesive label to 30° and the other cursor
(3) having the
“
-Upper LEFT Elevation ” adhesive label to 90°.
NOTE: If during cursor positioning mechanical arm (18) is an obstacle, it must be moved to a position
ranging from 30° to 90° using the Start and Stop keys on the keyboard.
Positioning the patient’s limb on the instrument
•
Have the patient sit correctly on a chair with no armrests
and with a narrow backrest.
•
Measure the distance of the seated patient’s shoulder
from the ground using a rule.
•
Adjust the height of the instrument according to the
measurement taken. Loosen knob (19), lift spring pivot
(20) and slide bush (21) until its upper part matches the
desired value on graduated scale (22), then tighten knob
(19).
NOTE: Before tightening knob (19) make sure that
spring pivot (20) is inside one of the holes of upright
(23).
•
By using the Start and Stop keys on the keyboard, move
the mechanical arm to the lower limit of the selected
movement.
•
Move the instrument close to the patient, position the patient’s
limb on the instrument by resting it on shaped plastic supports
(25) and (26). The shoulder must match the centre of clamp
(24). Support (25) must be positioned approximately at the
middle of the arm and support (26), which supports the
forearm, must be in a comfortable position for the patient.
•
Lock the machine to the ground using the wheel brakes.
•
Press START to start movement.
Warning! Do not forget to give the patient the keyboard and
train him how to use it.
