can be adjusted according to body size and desired starting position. For this purpose, the
turning/locking handle is loosened by turning it to the left (counterclockwise) by half a turn, and by
pulling the knob, the footrest can be adjusted. When the adjustment is correct, the next hole must be
searched for so that the detent bolt engages again, and by turning to the right it is fixed. This enables
optimal stabilization of the pelvis during movement. The seat with the gas spring can be adjusted by
operating the release below the seat. The seat depth is adjusted via the locking screw on the pelvic
stabilization pad. The seat height and seat depth are selected so that the axis of rotation of the unit
corresponds to the axis of rotation on the patient. Adjust the pad on the training arm to the desired
