5.3.1 Therapy protocols
This is the symbol for selection of therapy protocols:
The therapy protocols allow you to run preprogrammed combinations of operating modes and
specific functions in one session.
Therapy protocols exist for the three most frequent indications.
For rehabilitation after:
− ruptured cruciate ligament
− cartilage injuries
− prosthesis implantation
Each therapy protocol comprises six consecutive levels. Each level roughly corresponds to one week
of therapy, but the responsible physician can define the appropriate periods for any level. Additionally,
the responsible physician can define how often patients should repeat a level each day (sessions/day)
and whether they should exercise at different levels.
The
default therapy duration
at each level is
20 minutes
(minimum setting). The maximum duration
is 2 hours. The duration of the individual steps adapts automatically. The duration of the passive warm-
up step, however, is fixed, as indicated in the table.
The patient is informed of each change of the operating mode during the session.
After the therapy session, the carriage switches automtically off, enters the mounting/dismounting
position – set extension value + 10° – and stops.
These are the parameters you can define for each therapy plan:
Passive extension (stretching) adjustment
Passive flexion (bending) adjustment
Level selection
Timer (therapy duration for a level)
