Shuttle MiniPress, Owner'S Manual

SUPINE PROTOCOLS
REFER TO SEC. III PRIOR TO PROCEEDING
When using the Shuttle MiniPress in a bed. Use foam roll or pillow to prop the end of the
MiniPress. This will help prevent the Carriage from rubbing on the bed.
SUPINE HIP ABDUCTION
1. Stabilize the machine.
2. Set the Footplate to a flat position.
3. Direct the patient to lie supine in such a way that the machine is facing sideways in front of
them with the Load Adjustment Knobs on the same side as the supporting leg.
4. Direct the patient to place their active (moving) foot on the open surface of the carriage
directly before the Footplate. A pad under the patient that brings the level of the patient to
the level of the MiniPress is recommended.
5. Ask the patient to start by pushing the Carriage laterally away from the body and allowing
it to return in a controlled manner.
6. Begin with a light load to allow full use of the patient's available range of motion and
gradually increase resistance.
7. Monitor for proper stabilization of the trunk and supporting leg.
