LEVEL 5:
I Oscillation
The "oscillation" function permits a
more efficient therapy in the last 10°
before the maximum abduction and
adduction values are reached.
For this exercise, the carriage begins
at the starting position (maximum
adduction, halfway between internal
and external rotation). First of all the
carriage moves to the maximum
internal rotation position. Then it will
move to the maximum abduction
position, at the same time as the
maximum external rotation value.
When the abduction/external rotation
value has been reached, the carriage
reverses 10° toward
adduction/internal rotation and then
moves back again to the abduc-
tion/external rotation position.
The movement through the final 10°
is repeated five times at a slow
speed. At the end of the cycle, the
carriage will again move to the
maximum adduction position, at the
same time as the maximum internal
rotation value, and then starts
another cycle with five repetitions
through the last 10° of
abduction/external rotation.
This sequence can be repeated as
often as needed. You can stop
treatment with the STOP key; after
the programmed therapy duration, it
will stop automatically.
Default: disabled
I Stretching in abduction
With the special "Stretching in
abduction" function the carriage
gently stretches the joint by lifting the
arm. Only the abduction movement is
treated here. Motor B is automatically
disabled. The position of motor B
cannot be changed once this special
function has been activated.
Starting at the middle position the
carriage will first move to the pro-
grammed adduction position and
then to the programmed abduction
position.
Subsequently the carriage reverses
5° towards adduction and then
moves very slowly back again to the
programmed abduction position
(display ). After that it attempts to
attain another 5°, moving even slower
than before (display
If a high resistance toward the
additional 5° is sensed, the reverse
on load function is automatically
activated and the carriage moves in
the opposite direction.
This stretch cycle is repeated ten
times. After that the carriage moves
to the programmed maximum adduc-
tion position and restarts the abduc-
tion stretch cycle.
This sequence can be repeated as
often as needed. You can stop
treatment with the STOP key; after
the programmed therapy duration, it
will stop automatically.
Default: disabled
Note!
• If a pause is programmed when you
enable the function, the carriage
will stop for the duration of the
pause each time the maximum
stretching value is attained.
• Enabling the stretching in abduction
function automatically disables
motor B. The only movement
performed is adduction / abduction.
• It is not possible to combine a
second stretching function with the
special function "stretching in
abduction".
• During operation, the display will
show the symbol

I Stretching in internal rotation
With the special "Stretching in
internal rotation" function the carriage
gently stretches the joint towards the
inside.
Starting at the middle position the
carriage will first move to the pro-
grammed external rotation position
