Safety Precautions
The first time use of the MOTOmed viva 2 must always be supervised
by a qualified person giving instructions. Assessment of MOTOmed
training in regard to your health situation as well as the time,
duration and intensity of the training periods have to be discussed
with your doctor or physiotherapist before you start the training.
Please pay attention to the pre-set adjustments of the MOTOmed
viva2 when switching it on.
Either the patient is conscious or a therapist must be present during
the training.
Warm-up: If the health condition of a patient doesn’t allow
MOTOmed training with the maximum speed of 20 rpm the
parameter “speed” of the starting parameters has to be reduced after
the start.
The use of the MOTOmed viva2 has to be adapted to individual health
conditions. Training suggestions by the manufacturer or its distributors
are given without guarantee. No exact instructions can be given for
the use of the MOTOmed viva2 in different health situations. This
applies as well to details of the training functions as their settings have
to be adjusted to age, height, individual situations, post-surgical health
conditions and the general fitness of the user.
If there is any risk of damaging or causing injury to tendons, joints of
bones (for example, users with osteoporosis, muscle shortening) you
can adjust the motor power according to your needs after switching
on the MOTOmed viva 2.
Always start your training with passive motion (legs or arms are
moved by the motor) to warm-up. If you are able to train actively,
train your first sessions at low resistance. Avoid overexertion – it is
recommended to rather cycle in low gears for longer times and more
frequently.
