Elasticords
Located
within
the
carriage,
under
the
head-end
are
eight
lanyards.
Once
attached
they
engage
the
Elasticord
for
resistance.
Elasticord
Maintenance
-
Always
detach
the
Elasticords
when
machine
is
not
in
use.
This
prevents
premature
stretching
of
the
Elasticords
and
greatly
extends
their
life.
Attaching
the
Elasticords
-
To
increase
resistance
attach
Elasticords
one
by
one
to
the
slotted
plate
at
the
head
end
of
the
carriage.
Detaching
the
Elasticords
-
To
decrease
resistance,
detach
Elasticords
and
gently
let
them
retract
into
the
carriage.
Elasticord
Resistance
-
Each
Elasticord
provides
6-25
lbs
of
starting
resistance
depending
on
cord
type.
Resistance
increases
as
Elasticords
stretch.
As
skill
and
strength
improve,
more
Elasticords
may
be
added.
When
all
Elasticords
are
attached
they
will
provide
up
to
300
lbs
of
resistance
at
full
extension
(depending
on
machine).
Standard
Spring
Scale
Force
Monitoring
-
A
bathroom
spring
scale
adjusted
to
zero
while
placed
vertically
on
the
kickplate
under
the
patient's
foot
is
helpful
in
verifying
kickplate
forces
generated
by
the
Elasticords.
