Wheelchair positioning:
Please make sure the wheelchair brakes have been locked before starting exercise with
the OMEGO
®
Basic. If you exercise with an electric wheelchair the wheelchair has to be
switched off and in braking position.
Fastening/unfastening the chair safety catch:
A spasm or particular functions (e.g. leg press) may cause the patient to fall backwards
and, in the worst case, topple over. To prevent this, always use the safety catch and/or
only use chairs that can be secured with a safety catch.
Always check the wheelchair for stability prior to therapy. If stability is not given the
therapy has to be supervised by the therapist at all times.
If a patient is unable to hold onto the handle without assistance the therapy has to be
supervised by the therapist at all times.
