10.2 Training schedule
To improve mobility, strength and endurance:
Exercise regularly.
Exercise in short units to avoid overstrain.
Begin with training sessions of max. 15 minutes.
Start with slow passive exercise to warm up and then switch to light active
exercise with little exercising resistance.
Increase training time and speed in small steps and do more active muscular
exercise with higher exercising resistance.
Several training sessions per day are possible, provided that there are no
negative side effects and the user's individual capacity is not exceeded.
10.3 Active and passive training
Passive training
The THERA-Trainer moves the user.
– The users do not use their own muscle power.
THERA-Trainer provides the required energy.
When switched on, the THERA-Trainer will always start with passive exercise
at the set number of revolutions.
By actively moving the user in the same direction, the THERA-Trainer will
automatically switch to active exercise.
Active training
The users use their own muscle power to work against the set training
resistance
10.4 Increased muscle tone/spasms
Muscle tone reduction
with slow, even rotations
with small crank radius
It is possible for the tone reduction to last for several hours.
Adapt the training programme with the help of a doctor or therapist.
If a spasm occurs during the training session:
The electronic system of THERA-Trainer will recognise the spasticity.
If the anti-spasm-control is activated (factory setting), the motor will stop
immediately.
THERA-Trainer will continue in forward direction after a short delay
(factory setting).
Note Depending on individual requirements, it is possible to reverse the direction
of rotation after a spasm was recognised.
