DROPS
Pelvic, Thoracic, and Cervical Drops
The drops on Leander tables all operate the same way. Each incorporates one or
two cocking handles (A), and a tension adjust knob (B). The pelvic and thoracic
drops each have a cocking handle on either side of the table (
see figure 20
). The
cocking handle for the Pierce-type, forward motion cervical drop is located at the
front of the head section, making it accessible from either side and moving it away
from the patient’s arm (
see figure 21
). To set a drop, lift the cocking handle until
the drop sets. To increase drop tension for heavier patients or thrusts, turn the
tension knob clockwise; counterclockwise to decrease tension.
Flexion Timer
The flexion timer allows pre-setting the flexion distraction motor run-time from 1 to
30 minutes. You will find the timer control panel on the left side of the table on the
upper portion of the base (see figure 17). It allows the therapist to pre-determine
exact treatment times for each client and easily repeat that treatment at each visit.
A manual override is built in to allow operation with or without automatic stopping.
To use the flexion timer:
1) Turn the timer knob to the desired setting. Remember to turn past 4 minutes
and back to set for 1 to 3 minutes.
2) Begin flexion by pressing the On switch (green dot foot Switch).
3) The flexion motor will stop when the time reaches “OFF”. Also, the flexion
motor may still be stopped by pressing the On/Off switch or by squeezing the
Patient Flexion-Off Switch.
To override the flexion timer turn the knob to the MANUAL area of the dial. The
flexion motor may now be started by pressing the On/Off switch.
Note
:
When a table is equipped with a flexion timer, the timer must either be
engaged or set to “manual” for the flexion motor to be operated.
Also
:
The timer stops the flexion motor at a random position. This is not an
accident.
