OPERATION
The Leander 950 Table has many standard features. Each of these will be described
in this section along with instructions for their use.
Standard Features
Motorized Flexion Distraction
The primary feature of the Leander 950 Table is motorized flexion distraction. This
is the original function for which this table’s predecessors were designed and built.
It frees the therapist hands for palpating muscle and bone joints for stretching,
reduces injury to therapists’ hands, back and upper extremities, creates
predictable repetitive motion, increases circulation and range-of-motion, “pumps”
nutrients to the discs, and allows the therapist to bill for Joint Mobilization.
The caudal section of the Leander 950 Table is moved by the Isolated Flexion
Drive System through a range of motion beginning at horizontal and ending at a
position 16 degrees below horizontal. The standard table moves from horizontal to
horizontal in 2 seconds completing 30 cycles each minute. A table equipped with
an EVS may have the cycling frequency adjusted.
Isolated Flexion Drive System
The Isolated Flexion Drive System smoothens out the transfer of power from the
gearbox to the caudal section and reduces noise and vibration normally associated
with flexion distraction tables. It includes vibration isolators, pushrod brackets, top
and bottom pushrod bushings, pushrod, drive plate, state-of-the-art gearbox,
motor, and EVS control board if the table is EVS equipped.
Patient Flexion-Off Switch
An easily utilized flexion-off switch is provided for patients. A squeeze bulb
connects to the left side of the base cover via a flexible hose. The patient can stop
the flexion motor by simply squeezing the bulb. For increased safety, once flexion
distraction has been stopped, it may only be re-started by depressing the “On” side
of the On/Off pedal. Some patients will feel more relaxed knowing that, should it
be necessary, this switch allows them to stop the flexion motor at the FIRST sign
of discomfort.
DO NOT REMOVE THE SQUEEZE BULB
