Specific patient positioning
Training is performed in the closed system, i.e. the feet are placed on the adjustable footplate, which
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 snaps back into place, 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. To adjust the starting position, actuate the
pushbutton of the guide rod on the cam disk, bring the lever arm into the desired position and let the
bolt snap back into place there by releasing the pushbutton. The latching takes place in 10° increments.
The chest pad is adjusted to the torso length by operating the clamping screw and should sit just below
the collarbones. Adjust weight load. The Range of Motion Limiter (optional) for the end position is
located above the weight block and is adjusted by loosening the fastening screw.
