Important: Please make sure that your arms are not stretched
completely; the elbow joint should always be slightly bend. The arm
trainer has to be fixed at chest level or slightly below. For your optimal
seating position please consult your therapist and doctor.
Hint: The body has the tendency to slump over, especially with elderly
people. Backward arm training encourages a more upright posture. Regular
backward arm training is recommended as part of your training program.
The SymmetryTraining for the arms (item no. 201) needs to be ordered
additionally to the arm trainer.
Arm/upper body trainer active
Before using the arm/upper body trainer it is important to pull out
the front leg about 15 cm/6 inches. Ensure a minimum insertion of
10 cm /4 inches. This improves the stability of the MOTOmed viva 2
necessary for the arm training.
Please ensure that you do not place too much weight on one side of
the handle i.e. when standing up: do not prop yourself up on one side
of the handle since this could cause the MOTOmed viva2 to tip over.
The integrated hand-
lebar of the arm trainer can be used to hold onto during leg training. To
do arm training, please swivel the arm/upper body trainer clockwise by
180 degrees. Please follow these steps:
