OPERATION 22

Cycling “actively” without motor: After
you’ve relaxed your muscles enough you can
start to cycle actively with your own strength.
Press the button “ServoCycling”
(see figure 9).
Pedal yourself and the MOTOmed makes out your
own activity. The display
gives you feedback
showing a bicycle icon and the remark “you are
cycling yourself”. With the buttons “light” (small
weight)
and “heavy” (large weight) you
can change gears according to your muscle strength
(from gear 0 to 20). Please choose the appropriate gear that
allows you to cycle without intense strain.
It is recommended to cycle in the low gears for some time.
Pause: In case you get tired we advice you to
relax your legs. The MOTOmed viva 2 will
recognize this and take over automatically,
moving your legs passively again. After a while
you can try cycling yourself again (but only if
you feel able to) – the MOTOmed will recognize
this input and switch automatically to active
mode again. The bicycle icon appears on the
display
together with the feedback:
“you are cycling yourself” (see figure 10).
SymmetryTraining: The SymmetryTraining
function applies only while cycling actively when
the bicycle icon appears. SymmetryTraining is
supposed to help you training towards an even
force output of each leg by indicating the activity
of both legs in a graph. Whenever the display
shows 50% on both bars, both legs are equally
active, one bar showing more than 50% however
indicates that the corresponding leg is pedaling
with more strength. Try always to train both your legs equally. You can
freeze the SymmetryTraining bar graphs on the display by pressing the
button “hold display”
. The button “change display” turns back
to other screenshots.
