Handrails, adjustable with gear tooth locking elements
The adjustable handrails are useful for frail, elderly people and especially for all
therapies and exercise with children. They offer best possible safety at best
attainable freedom of body motion. The handrails are to be adjusted individually at
the two joints with scales at the back end. The two stabilising elements at the front
are responsible for the fixation of the adjusted position. Because of the
tremendous variability and broad adjustments, the handrails are applicable for
most body heights.
If using adjustable handrails, the UserTerminal is placed at the crossbar in front of
the testing person.

Reproducibility of adjustments
To obtain reproducibility, the individually optimal adjustments have to be determined for each subject (see scaling at the
locking elements at the back) and noted accordingly (e.g. in a patient file). We have deliberately refrained from offering
standard settings for particular heights because the adjustments can widely differ according to the posture and the
individual situation of the testing person.
The torsional elements have a scaling at any joint, which is afferent when turned in the direction of the running surface.
The adjustments of the height and width occur gradually because the interlocking of the joints works in 6”-steps. You
can copy the picture for patient’s files and fill in the scaling data for the individual adjustments.
Danger, precaution and operation
N
The maximum load is limited to persons with not more than 140 kg (309 lbs) body weight.
N
Do not adjust the handrails under strain, e.g. when someone is leaning on the handrails.
N
Only use the adjustable handrails under supervision of a trained staff member. Only trained staff is allowed to adjust
the handrails.
N
Only loosen the gear tooth locking elements to adjust the angle while holding the handrail with one hand. Turn the
respective lever with the hand that holds the handle to the desired position.
N
Before weighting, make sure that after the adjustment the gear tooth locking elements at the rear end are correctly
engaged and that the two stabilization elements at the front (“clamping screws”) are tightened and secured again.
N
While adjusting, make sure that neither you nor any other person gets caught in a pinch point or capture zone.
N
The h/p/cosmos arm support cannot be used with the adjustable handrails.
