Testing of electrical components and the correct functioning of the software is subject to the compulsory start-up of
the machine at the client's location.
11 Training Manual and Technical Data
11.1 Basic patient positioning
In addition to the device-specific chronological sequence for the positioning of the trainee or patient, there are
some basic guidelines for all five machine types. In any case, when working with the machine series tergumed
® 710
the basics for medical training therapy and bio-mechanics must be known, taken into account and implemented by
the supervising personnel.
•
The positioning of the patient must always be carried out with the greatest possible care, because quality
and effectiveness of the exercise execution depend largely from a correct initial position.
•
The machine axes and pivot points must be as precise as possible to the axes of movement of the trainees’
joints to be exercised to avoid any compression and shearing forces. To do this, it is necessary that all
necessary settings are set by a therapist.
•
The training has always to be done in a sitting position.
•
The feet are placed on the footrests or the base plate of the machines when training the lumbar spinal
column.
•
The starting position can be adjusted in 10 degree increments when there is restricted mobility for the
extension, flexion, rotation and lateral flexion. The setting for the starting position for the Cervical Trainer is
done in the same way with 7.5 degree steps. The starting position is set using the locking pins on the
excenter.
•
The lever arm length can be individually and smoothly adapted to the anatomical conditions of the trainees.
•
The training position decided on by the therapist or trainer can be reproduced for further training, because
all adjusting devices are fitted with well visible graduations, and on each machine, the position settings are
alphabetically numbered (A, B, C, etc.) in a meaningful way.
•
When using the proxotrain tergumed ® software module, it is possible to capture and use the positioning
parameter using software.
•
The weight should be selected so that the patient or client can perform the training without evasive
movements, even with the last repeat of a series.
•
With limited spinal mobility or if pain is present, training should only be performed where possible in the
active range of movement where there is no pain.
•
The execution of exercise repetitions should be slow and controlled. The therapist should make sure that
the trainee or patient retains the body tension during the whole exercise.
•
The therapist must, prior and during the performance of an exercise make sure that the axis of rotation of
the machine and the trainee or patient coincide. The axis of rotation of the machine can, with the
tergumed® 710 Lateral flexion and the Cervical Trainer be aligned using a laser pointer attached directly at
the rotation point of the device, and pointed exactly on the axis of rotation of the patients or clients.
Note the following safety instructions for the use of the laser pointer:
The laser must not be directed towards the eyes!
Never look into the laser beam!
Use of the laser should be brief, as considerable exposure can lead to skin irritation.
•
The laser may not be modified.
•
Use only the batteries specified by the manufacturer of the laser pointer and dispose
of the used batteries according to regulations. Disposal with household waste is
prohibited!
11.2 General training recommendations
Before starting, the training program the patient or client should warm-up for example on a stationary bicycle
ergometer, followed by stretching exercises to prepare the appropriate muscles for the load.
With limited mobility or if pain is present, training should only be performed where possible in the painless range.
