4.1 Introduction
The product line tergumed 710 comprises five stationary test and training machines, the tergumed Extension,
tergumed Flexion, tergumed Lateral flexion, tergumed Rotation and for the area of the cervical spine the tergumed
Cervical Trainer.
The load dosing and / or control for the training takes place via the weight stack, which is attached to the side or
front of the machine.
The five tergumed 710 test and training machines train the relevant muscle groups that are for the stabilisation of
the spinal column. The name of each machine refers to the movement that is performed with the appropriate
machine for the test or training (Extension, Flexion, Lateral flexion, Rotation, Cervical (-extension, -flexion, -lateral
flexion).)
In the following, the above-mentioned power training types are described, all of which are controlled with the same
software.
-
Extension:
The exercise takes place in the closed system.
The torso-straightening muscles in the area of the lumbar spinal column are mainly stressed. The exercise is
performed while sitting. Fixing the lower leg is the most effective way of excluding equalising and
compensating movements.
The muscular skeletal system is stressed and trained by the stress on large muscle groups. To control the
intensity dosage, the resistance can be regulated in 1kg increments.
-
Flexion:
The exercise takes place in the closed system.
The abdominal musculature is predominantly stressed in the area of the abdomen. The exercise is
performed while sitting. Fixing the lower leg excludes equalising and compensating movements.
The muscular skeletal system is stressed and trained by the stress on large muscle groups. To control the
stress the resistance can be regulated in 1kg increments.
-
Rotation
:
The exercise takes place in the closed system.
The abdominal rotation musculature is predominantly stressed in the area of the abdomen and the lumbar
spinal column. The exercise is performed while sitting. Fixing the lower leg and a lateral fixation of the
pelvis excludes equalising and compensating movements.
The muscular skeletal system is stressed and trained by the stress on large muscle groups. To control the
stress the resistance can be regulated in 1kg increments.
- Lateral flexion :
The exercise takes place in the closed system.
The abdominal inclination musculature is predominantly stressed in the area of the abdomen and the
lumbar spinal column. The exercise is performed while sitting. The pelvis is stabilised by a waist-tight thigh
fixation. Thus, excluding equalising and compensating movements.
The muscular skeletal system is stressed and trained by the stress on large muscle groups. To control the
stress the resistance can be regulated in 1kg increments.
-
Cervical Trainer:
The exercises take place in the open system.
Depending on the exercise performed, either the cervical stretching, flexion or lateral musculature is
stressed. The exercise is performed while sitting. Fixing the upper leg can exclude equalising and
compensating movements.
The muscular skeletal system is stressed and trained by the stress on the named muscle groups. To control
the stress the resistance can be infinitely regulated.
