Attachments Needed
Dynamometer: Ankle attachment (ADA1), Angle attachment (ADL5)
Seat: Angle Attachment (ADS1), Thigh Pad (ADS4) / For modified seated only
Set up & positioning
Put the mechanical stops to “B” red and “B” red.
Combine the ankle (ADA1) and the angle attachment ADL5. Attach it to the dynamometer by
sliding it in the input arm from the top, short side. Tighten it firmly by turning the knob placed in the
input arm clock wise.
For the seated position combine the ADS1 with the ADS4 and place it in the receiving tube of the
seat by sliding it from the top. Tighten it firmly by turning the knob placed in the input arm clock
wise. The attachment should be facing the leg to be tested. Set it low as it is much easier to adjust
it higher if needed. Insert the thigh pad stabilizer in the vertical angle with its vertical section
towards the inside. Secure firmly.
Ask the subject to lay on the chair facing the dynamometer.
Place the subject's ankle in the ankle adapter and secure it firmly by tightening the straps.
The stabilizer of the thigh should be just above the posterior joint line, while it is also maintained in
a straight line between the hip and the ankle. Secure it with the strap. Do not over tighten it.
Set the axis of the joint rotation. The axis of rotation goes from the machine and extends through
the lateral condyle. To check the alignment simply plantar and dorsiflex the ankle and ensure the
heel does not lift from the footplate
If the subject feels it more comfortable or/and if you want the subject to view the monitor, lift the
chair back and modify the supine position to seated.
Opposite Side
Unstrap patient's thigh from the stabilizer, as well as his/her ankle.
Slide the chair away from the dynamometer.
Remove the seat attachments and place them the other way around, the angle should face the
other side.
Adjust the chair and the dynamometer in accordance to the quick reference above.
Follow the steps 6 -9 as described above.
