TRAINING PREARRANGEMENTS
Seating position
Please make sure that your seating distance to the MOTOmed viva2 /
gracile12 will not lead to a full stretch of the arms; the elbow joints
should always be slightly bent. The arm trainer has to be set on chest
level or slightly below. For your optimal seating position please consult
your therapist and doctor.
Hint:
The body has the tendency to slump over, especially with elderly
people. Due to a backward direction rotation a better posture of the
upper body is assured. Regular backward arm training is recommended
as part of your training program.
