following positions in the synchronized mode:
− maximum extension value and
maximum pronation value
− maximum exion value and maxi-
mum supination value.
• To ensure that the movements you
program are physiological in nature,
we recommend to program the carriage in the following order:
1. maximum extension value
2. maximum pronation value
English
■extension
maximum value: - 5 degrees
■ exion
maximum value: 140 degrees
■pronation

■Warm-up protocol
During warm-up, the patient will
slowly become used to the set maximum values for extension/ exion and
pronation/supination.
The warm-up protocol starts in the
middle between the two maximum
values set for extension/ exion and
pronation/supination. The range of
motion increases with each cycle, until
the programmed maximum values are
reached after a total of 15 cycles.
After reaching the maximum values, the
device automatically enters the normal
mode.
If a therapy time is activated, the system
restarts with the warm-up protocol
when the therapy time has elapsed and
the devices is started again.
