Spasm Control
For user safety, the medBike is equipped with a Spasm Control sensor. Medbike spasm control
detects sudden twitching and/or rapid pedal movement in opposite directions. If this occurs,
pedal movement will gently cease and the screen will display an “Overload!” message. A
therapist is able to intervene and decide what action to take.
Figure 2.16. Spasm control warning screen.
NOTE: If pedal rotation is completely resisted in the Passive Mode for a period of time (about a
minute), you may see a “Motor over current protection” message. To protect the motor
mechanism, the device will suspend operations. When this event occurs, you must turn the
device off with the ON / OFF switch at the base, and then turn the power back on.
Emergency Stop
The medBike is equipped with an EMERGENCY STOP Button. If, for any reason, a user wants to
quickly pause or discontinue an exercise session — be it in Active or Passive Mode — it can be
accomplished by pressing the STOP button. To continue exercising, the STOP button must be
pressed a second time. You will have the option to resume the session you were in before
pressing the STOP button or finishing the session and starting a new one.
