Correct Usage
With this machine, the back extensors are trained. The training takes
place usually in a closed system, i.e. the soles of the feet are in
contact with a footrest, while the knee is fixed from the front. This
allows an optimal stabilisation of the pelvis during the exercise. The
following injuries can be treated and others on this machine after
consulting with the doctor and therapists: Any injuries of the spinal
column such as spinal disc prolapse or intervertebral disc protrusion,
fracture of vertebrae, degenerative spinal disorders such as scoliosis
or ankylosing spondylitis (Morbus Bechterew). Of course, the
machine can also be used for a general strengthening of the torso
and for the prevention of spinal complaints.
Specific positioning of the person training
The seat height is adjusted via the pressure switch on the right side of the seat, this is
either pneumatic or via the optional electric seat height adjustment. The simplest
approach, if only the pneumatic seat height adjustment is available, is to bring the seat
to the highest position before sitting down. Seat height is then set such that the
rotation axis of the machine coincides with the rotation axis of the patient. A possible
axis of rotation for the training of the back-extension movement is on the transition
from the third to the fourth lumbar vertebrae.
The correct positioning of the seat height can be checked on the laser pointer, which
is located at the rotation point of the machine.
The height of the lordosis padding of the machine can be adjusted by releasing the
fulcrum pin, moving to the appropriate height and fixing again.
The optional seat tilt adjustment is located on the left side of the seat.
The adjustment of the footrest should be selected so that the thighs are in extension
of the seat. The adjustment is made mechanically from the sitting position by
activating the toggle switch attached to the footrest. The graduations for the seat
height and the foot rests are located in an inlet in the bottom of the training machine
and on the side of the footrest (adjusting footrest). This allows the patient or trainee
to comfortable read the position form the sitting position.
The ventral knee fixation padding can be adjusted in height by releasing the
corresponding fulcrum pin. The height should be selected so that the top edge of the
padding is aligned at the tibial tuberosity so that there is no pressure on the
patella. The knee padding can then be released via the pressure switch and pulled to
the knee. After that the fixing unit can be locked again by releasing the pressure
switch, to achieve an optimum stabilisation. The lever arm length can be continuously
adapted after releasing the handle attached to the lifting arm.
The starting position (in flexion) for the extension movement can be set in 10° steps
after releasing the locking pin on the excenter. The weight load can be set via the pin
on the weight block.
