2.1 Description of the
device components
The motorized CPM device provides the
following passive motion to the ankle
joint:
plantar flexion / dorsal extension
50° / 0° / 40°
inversion / eversion
40° / 0° / 20°
It can be reconfigured for use on either
side and allows patients to exercise in
bed and while sitting on a chair.
Note!
To unambiguously represent the current position of the CPM device, the
values for plantar flexion and inversion are marked with the symbol "-"
both on the display and in this document.
These are some of the
KINEX-Ankle features:
- anatomically correct setup
- physiological movements
- programming unit for precise
adjustment of patient-specific
therapy values
- symbols for easy operation of the
programming unit
Biocompatibility
Those parts of the KINEX-Ankle device
that come into contact with the patient
when the device is used as intended,
are designed to fulfil the biocompatibility requirements of the applicable standards.
