General Information
With this machine, the dorsal, ventral and the lateral cervical muscles are trained. The implementation of the initial
test or a training session on the tergumed
®
Cervical Trainer should always take place with the positioning in the
extension movement and the other directions of movement based on these settings. It should be noted that only
the therapist should position the patient.
A stand-alone training, as is possible on the other machines of the tergumed
®
line, should not
be allowed with the Cervical Trainer. Also, the constant monitoring of the correct range of
movement is obligatory.
If the proxotrain tergumed software module is used, the machine features a swivelling touch screen PC which can
be positioned depending on the movement.
13.5.1 tergumed ® 710 Cervical Extension
Correct Usage
The cervical extensor muscles are trained by using this machine. The
stabilisation of the torso is via the dorsal and ventral stabilisation
padding. Following injuries can be treated
after consultation with a
physician
. Intervertebral disc protrusion, spinal disc prolapse and
degenerative spinal disorders.
Of course, the machine can also be used for a general strengthening
of the torso with unspecified discomfort and for the prevention of
cervical spinal discomfort.
Note the described contra-indicators for training on this machine!
Specific positioning of the person training
The rotatable seat of the machine is located above the pressure switch on the
underside of the seat in the upper position and positioned with the knee support
padding so that the trainee or patient can sit with the back of his/her head to the
padding. The patient can now get on the seat. The setting of the knee support
padding to the length of the thigh is by using the rotary wheel on the front of the
seat.
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 cervical extension movement is
situated above C7/Th1. The correct positioning of the seat height should be checked
on the laser pointer, which is located at the rotation point of the machine.
Adjust the height of the upper body padding individually so that the trainee or patient
can be fixed in position from both the front and from the rear and may not move out
of the correct plane of rotation. For the separate settings of both the horizontal
fixation padding (dorsal and ventral), the analogous lateral rotary wheels can be used.
