compass® MTT S3 med. vertical pull, Art. 10120300
The compass® S3 vertical pull provides a wide range of training options for neuromuscular training
within the medical training therapy (MTT).
These machines can be used to train a wide variety of muscle groups, mainly in the upper and lower
extremities, as well as the stabilizing trunk muscles at various levels of movement. This makes it possible
to train functional movement sequences in the muscle chains from variable starting positions. The
vertical pulley mechanism are used in medical training therapy for shoulder, hip, knee and ankle joint
rehabilitation as well as for stabilization in spinal damage and injuries. In addition, a large number of
coordination training exercises can be carried out vertical pulldown.
The optionally available training benches of the compass® series are particularly suitable for training in
a seated position.
Specific patient positioning
The positioning of the patient depends on the planned movement to be performed. Depending on the
type of movement, the height of the vertical pull rod attached to the boom or the height of the handles
can be adapted. It is possible to choose a low position, e.g. for exercises of the lower extremities (relief
exercises) and a high position, e.g. for typical vertical pull exercises of the upper extremities. Depending
on the training objective and patient status, training can take place in a seated or standing position.
Handles and foot straps can be attached to the snap hook of the pull rope at different heights. To adjust
the starting height/release the locking bolt on the guide rail handle and move the rod to the desired
position and clamp it again or lock it in place.
The weight is changed by inserting the pin into the desired training weight on the weight stack. The
accompanying therapist should check the positioning of the patient before and during training.
