In General
Pay attention to your seating position and posture when training –
especially when using the arm/upper body trainer. The wheelchair or
chair should be straight and in line with the MOTOmed viva 2. You
should be sitting upright, back straight, resting on the back support
of the chair or wheelchair.
The degree of movement of the knee joint and hip joint depends on
the distance between the MOTOmed viva 2 and the chair or weelchair.
Position your chair from the MOTOmed viva 2 according to the
flexibility of your joints. Avoid at all times overstretching or locking
of the knee joints and start off sitting reasonably near the MOTOmed
viva 2.
When using the arm/upper body trainer make sure that the elbow
joints are never fully stretched during the training. Adjust the
position of the arm/upper body trainer to your height.
If you lack support due to the effects of paralysis it is absolutely
essential that leg guides (item no. 502) and forearm shells (item
no. 556)
are used. Always make sure that arms and legs are properly
secured in the forearm shells or foot shells.
