13.4 tergumed ® 710 Lateral Flexion, item 10350400
Correct Usage
With this machine, the lateral trunk muscles are trained. The pelvis is
secured via a pelvic fixation. The feet are placed on the machine floor
in approximately 90 degrees of rotation to the knee and fixed above
the hip displacement padding from the front near the pelvis. The
thigh cushion padding is used for additional active stabilisation. This
allows an optimal stabilisation of the pelvis during the exercise. The
following injuries can be treated and others on this machine after
consulting with the doctor and therapists: Any injuries of the spinal
column such as spinal disc prolapse or intervertebral disc protrusion,
fracture of vertebrae, degenerative spinal disorders such as scoliosis or
ankylosing spondylitis (Morbus Bechterew). Of course, the machine
can also be used for a general strengthening of the torso and for the
prevention of spinal complaints.
Specific positioning of the person training
The seat height is adjusted via the pressure switch next to the seat, this is either
pneumatic or via the optional electric seat height adjustment. If there is only the
pneumatic seat height adjustment, it is easiest to set the seat to the highest position
before sitting down. The seat height is then set such that the rotation axis of the
machine coincides with the rotation axis of the patient. A possible axis of rotation for
the training of the lateral movement of the torso is at the height of the fourth lumbar
vertebra. The correct positioning of the seat height can be checked on the laser
pointer, which is located at the rotation point of the machine.
The hip fixation is initiated by the pressure switch of the adjustment unit and must be
pressed forwards against the hip from above. Releasing the pressure switch fixes the
padding to their position.
The height of the underarm padding can be adjusted by activating the pressure switch
attached to the right side of the upper torso fixation corresponding to the length of
the upper torso.
The underarm padding can then be pressed against the upper torso fixation by
actuating the wheels attached to both sides of the upper body in order to stabilise
these. The starting position for the corresponding movement can be set in 10° steps
after releasing the locking pin on the excenter. The weight load can be set via the pin
on the weight block.
