The patient’s suitability for therapy with the OMEGO
®
Basic is to be assessed by the
treating physician or therapist.
The suggested therapy duration is approx. 30-60 min/day but the actually permissible
duration is highly dependent on each patient’s general condition and capacity and thus
has to be assessed individually.
Prior to therapy the treating physician or therapist has to assess if and how long the
patient can manage independently, taking into consideration the patient’s cognitive
capacities as well as the general condition.
Deterioration of postural stability: Patients suffering from impaired balance while sitting
have to be monitored and supported throughout the therapy.
The device and its control elements (software) may only be operated by trained
therapists. Make sure the patient does not change any settings during therapy.
If the therapist is leaving the patient’s range of vision and/or is out of earshot, the therapy
has to be paused.
Patients with limited cognitive capabilities have to be monitored at all times.
The OMEGO
®
Basic may not be moved nor may its position be changed during an ongoing
therapy.
Only start the OMEGO
®
Basic once the patient is secured.
Over-extension of the knees: The range of motion may have been set inaccurately, which
can cause a high mechanic pressure on the knee joint and/or hip. Please always check the
range of motion settings.
