Examples of how the Angle Sensor can be used
are as follows:
Scenario one:
Feedback on knee hyper-extension
Feedback on knee hyper-extension is a common
problem encountered post acquired brain injury.
Set the lower limit so the sound comes on just before
patient reaches full hyperextension. Set the upper limit
dial fully clockwise.
Scenario two:
Feedback on knee flexion reaching 60°
Set lower limit dial fully anti clockwise i.e. minimum
position. Set upper limit dial so sound comes on at
60
0
.The numbers on the front are an approximate
guide to the angle.
