VISUAL INSPECTION
Loose screw connections can
cause detachment of parts during
the course of training.
Should any of the components
become loose the training must
be stopped immediately by
pushing the stop button.
Subsequently, the loose part is to
be secured into proper position.
The device must not shake or tilt
over since this may increase the
risk of injury to the user/patient.
The MOTOmed might slip on
straight floors (tiles, laminate,
parquet floors etc.).
In case of strong spasticity in he
lower extremities the drive force
of the pedals may cause shifting
or tilting of the seat. This is to be
prevented with appropriate
measures in order to isolate
injuries.
Wheelchairs can shift during the
training.
The wheelchair must not move
out of position during training.
The wheelchair must not move
out of position during training.
Test step
Necessary measures in
case of fault detection
during visual inspection
Explanation
Are all the adjustable
components (motor
console, arm-/upper
body trainer, foot stand,
handlebar,...) fastened
properly with a clamp
screw or an Allen key.
Are the screws
tightened?
Is the MOTOmed
positioned on even floor
and is it not shaking or
tilting over?
Is the floor providing
enough grip so that no
shifting occurs?
Is the chair or wheelchair
positioned so that the
device does not tilt over
or move?
If training from a
wheelchair: Are the
brakes on your
wheelchair locked before
starting the training?
If using a power
wheelchair is used for
seating purposes during
training: Is the
wheelchair powered
off and are the brakes
locked?
To ensure strong hold by
retightening the clamping
screws and the Allen screws.
In order to prevent shaking or
tilting over select a suitable
training spot. Possibly, adjust
the rubber stoppers on the
front stand.
By choosing a slip proof floor
you can ensure a safe seating
and device position.
For the small foot stand, suc-
tion caps are available as ac-
cessory order. An anti-slip mat
that goes below the MOTOmed
is available as accessory.
If your wheelchair tends to
tilt or shift due to spasticity,
or during active training, the
use of a wheelchairstabilizer
or wheelchair stabilizeris
recommended.
Only stable and firm chairs
may be used, if possible with
an arm rest.
The use of chairs with castors
while operating the MOTOmed
is not permitted.
Pull the brakes and check if
the wheel chair is in a steady
position.
Power off the wheelchair and
pull the brakes. Afterwards
check if the wheelchair is in a
steady position.
