position.
SEATED ABDOMINAL EXERCISE
1. Secure the MiniPress to a table edge using the white rubber pads over the edge of the
table. Sit the patient facing the Load Adjustment Knobs.
2. Stabilize the machine.
3. Set the Footplate to the appropriate angle for the patient's use.
4. Begin with a light load to allow a full use of the patient's available range of motion at the
hips and gradually increase resistance.
5. Direct the patient to place her/his hands on the Footplate. With straightened arms, use
the abdominals transmitted through the straight arms to push the Footplate away from
the body in a controlled manner. With arms still straight, allow the Carriage to return to its
starting position resisting with the abdominals.
6. Engage Elasticords slowly to allow full use of the patient's available range of motion and
gradually increase resistance.
7. Monitor for range of motion, smoothness and the alignment.
