Leg trainer
1) Set up:
Place the MOTOmed viva2 on a non slip surface, with the large tube
and wheels 11 directly in front of a wall if possible. Sit in a wheelchair or in
a stable chair in front of the MOTOmed viva2 within a reasonable distance
of the trainer – make sure that the knee joints are not stretched out
completely while training, particularly when the foot shells are at the most
distant position.
Important: Make sure the wheelchair or chair is secure so that it will not tilt
or slip away.
2) Help inserting and securing the legs (if needed):
Press the small long blue
button ” “ 7 . You can then move the foot shells 10 with the buttons
”pedals forward” 5 and ”pedals backwards” 6 to help you insert one foot
after the other in the lower pedal position. Now secure your feet to the foot
shells with the help of the Velcro straps or using the self operating foot
holders (item no. 506).
3) Start training:
Press the red ”start/stop” button 8 . Automatically the foot
shells will now begin to move slowly. First let the motor move your legs
”passively” in a warm up phase for a couple of minutes.
4) Motor-assisted (passive) movement / change of direction:
With the two
”velocity” buttons 5 and 6 you can increase or decrease the number of
revolutions per minute: By pressing the button ”turtle” the speed is lowered,
by pressing the button ”rabbit” 6 it is increased. By pressing the button
”direction” 4 you can change the direction of rotation - from forward to
backward and vice versa.
Note: The buttons 3 to 6 have various functions depending upon the
training mode you are in.
5) Cycle with your own strength – motor-assisted or without motor:
When
you feel you have loosened up enough, and you are ready to cycle with your
own muscle power, press the ”ServoCycling” 3 button (fig. 3). On the display
a bicycle appears as well as the message ”you are cycling yourself”. With the
buttons ”light” 5 and ”heavy” 6 you can adjust the resistance according to
your muscle strength - from 0 (very light) to 20 (very heavy). Select a level
of resistance that allows you to train without much effort. It is better to cycle
in a lower gear for a longer period of time than in a higher gear for a shorter
period.
6) Take a break:
As soon as you feel you are getting tired you can simply stop
cycling (i.e. stop applying force), the MOTOmed will recognize this and take
over automatically, moving your legs passively again. After a while you can
try cycling yourself again (but only if you feel able) – the MOTOmed will
recognize your impulse. A bicycle and the note ”You are cycling yourself”
(fig. 4) appears on the display.
