Specific patient positioning
The patient sitting upright on the seat cushion. Adjust the lateral stabilization aids to the patient. To do
this, loosen the turning handles by turning them to the left (half turn) and adjust the supports. Make
sure that the patient is fixed in the center. Then fix the swivel handles again by turning them to the right.
The training is performed in the closed system, i.e. the feet are placed on the footrest, which is adjusted
accordingly. To do this, loosen the turning/locking bolt on the footrest by turning it to the left and move
the footrest freely by pulling the knob. Select the correct length and then snap it into the nearest hole.
Fix this position by turning to the right. The patient should press both knees against the knee
stabilization pads during the exercise for optimal fixation and stabilization of the pelvis. The upper body
fixation pad is pulled down so that it rests on the shoulders and is held in this position. To do this, the
release button on the left holder (yellow) must be pulled (if the system is equipped with this).
The height of the upper body fixation must be adjusted according to the user. We recommend that you
release the fixation here (remove the rotation/locking bolt) and then ask the user to do the exercises in
