Now hold the desired position with one hand and
simultaneously retighten the clamp lever of the
arm rest�

Tighten all the screws on the upper arm support

Lower arm restraint
Lower arm restraints are combined with arm rests�
The arm rests can be adjusted individually in height and
inclination, so that the lower arm of the patient can be
placed on them and secured with straps� Restraining
of the arms lends greater stability to entire upper body�
There is also the possibility of a lower arm restraint
with expander� In this variant, an expanding rubber is
mounted underneath the arm rest and restricts the
patient's radius of arm motion� A lower arm restraint
with expander is mainly used for the patient's own pro-
tection and to avoid injuries to the arms� Mainly for
patients who strike out or grab uncontrolled with their
arms and can thus knock over objects and injure them-
selves in the process� Arm restraints can also be used
to provide better stability and guidance for operating
a control unit on electric wheelchairs� To apply the the
lower arm restraint, proceed as follows:

Lower arm restraints with expander rubber: open
the Velcro fleece connection on the lower arm re-
straint and place this around the lower arm of the
patient and then close again� IMPORTANT! Do not
exercise too much force on the patient's lower arm�

Lower arm restraints without expander rubber:
open the Velcro fleece connection and place the
patient's arm comfortably on the arm rest, then
close the lower arm restraint around the patient's
lower arms and the arm rest�
Important!
Do not exercise too much force on the
patient's lower arm�
Important!
Ensure that the arm restraint is not too
tight� Risk of pressure areas�
Hand cuff restraints
Hand cuff restraints provide for direct restraint of the
hands� They can be wrapped around the hands in order
to prevent patients from injuring themselves with the
fingers�
Important!
Ensure that the arm restraint is not too
tight� Risk of pressure areas�
Therapy tray table
Various shapes and materials were taken into consid-
eration in the selection of the therapy tray table� All
variants used can be fastened differently, nonetheless
the AKTIVLINE
®
has already been fitted with a mount-
ing ex-works and this only needs to be adjusted to meet
the patient's needs�

ted to the therapy tray table resp� into the intended
receptacles under the arm rests�

Make sure that the therapy tray table is not pushed
too close to the patient� Leave the patient suffi-
cient space in the stomach region to avoid sitting
trapped during stretching�

You can adjust the height of the table via the arm
rests�

Mount the table in the correct position by turning
the wing screws on the mountings under the arm
rests clockwise�

Repeat these steps in reverse order to detach the

Once you have adjusted the therapy tray table into
the correct position, you no longer need to remove
it from the holder for transfers and the like�

In the variant with swing-away unit, simply fold
the table tray to the side� Always pay attention to
the patient� Should the radius for swiveling not be
sufficient, loosen the wing screw and pull the table
