Avoid positioning the machine in busy areas such as near doors and passageways. 5.3.1 Protective Cover The trim of the compass®...
The weight can be moved explosively, with quick powerful exercises, but only with persons that can be correspondingly loaded. A controlled motion control must also be guaranteed with this training method to avoid stress and injury. As a rule, concentric and eccentric modes of operation of the muscles should be combined. Different training methods are applied.
6.2.4 compass Lumbar Cushion Correct Usage The lordosis cushion support the best possible spinal posture, in particular for persons with postural instability. Article number • compass Lumbar Cushion: No. 10101800 6.2.5 Balance board and Calf Trainer Correct Usage With the optionally available circle, proprioceptive training of the lower extremities can be undertaken.
Weight block Function of the weight block proxomed has always tried to place the weight block to the side, so that the trainee can adjust the weight directly from the training position. The weights should always be selected when not loaded. Additional weights are not be attached, if this is not authorised by proxomed.

The patient sits on the seat and leans against the backrest. Depending on the length of the thigh, the seat is now pushed as far back or forward as possible until the rotation axis of the machine lines up with the movement axis of the knee-joint (imaginary line through both femoral condyles);...
compass Seated Leg Curl, art.10089300 Correct Usage This machine allows a training of the knee flexor muscles (back of the upper leg) in a sitting position. Specific patient positioning The patient sits on the seat and leans against the backrest. Depending on the length of the thigh, the seat is now pushed as far back or forward as possible until the rotation axis of the machine lines up with the movement axis of the knee-joint (imaginary line through both femoral condyles);...
compass Leg Extension/Curl, art. 10089500 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10201100 Correct Usage With this machine, the leg extension and the leg flexor muscles can be trained in the sitting position. One or both legs can be trained. It is possible to train both concentrically and eccentrically.
compass Leg Press, art. 10089600 / 250 KG user weight, art. 10200300 compass Leg Press 200 kg, art. 10111900 / 250 KG user weight, art. 10201000 Correct Usage The machine enables a functional training of the leg and the hip stretch muscles depending on patient positioning in the closed system.
compass Multi Hip, art. 10089800 Correct Usage With this machine, the entire hip stretch muscles can be trained. Depending on the starting position of the patient, the different muscle groups (hip extensors, hip flexors, ab- /adductors) are stressed. Specific patient positioning The initial position is while standing, the knee of the standing leg should be slightly bent.
compass Hip Extension, art. 10089900 Correct Usage On this machine, the whole of both sides of the hip stretch muscles are trained. Specific patient positioning The training is carried out while standing. The knee-joint of the standing leg should be slightly bent. The height of the arm position padding is set so that the upper torso is slightly inclined during training.
6.10 compass Ab-/Adduction, art. 10090000 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10200100 Correct Usage With this machine, all muscle groups, responsible for the abduction and adduction of the legs on the body are effectively trained. These muscle groups have a stabilising function for the pelvis and hip and also for the knee joint. Specific patient positioning Training is in the sitting position.
6.11 compass Pulldown, art. 10090300 Correct Usage With this machine, the shoulder blade fixator muscles are trained that are of particular importance for a spinal column friendly upright posture. Specific patient positioning The seating height is set depending on the size of the individual patient. The seat with the pneumatic compression spring can be adjusted by using the actuator below the seat.
6.12 compass Dip, art. 10090400 Correct Usage With this machine, the pectoral girdle muscles, used for stabilising and supporting are trained. Specific patient positioning The seating height is set depending on the size of the individual patient. The seat with the pneumatic compression spring can be adjusted by using the actuator below the seat.
6.13 compass Pulldown/Dip, art. 10090500 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10200900 Correct Usage With this machine, the shoulder blade fixator muscles can be trained that are of particular importance for a spinal column friendly upright posture. With the second function, can also here the pectoral girdle muscles be trained, which are used for stabilising and supporting.
6.14 compass Butterfly/Butterfly Revers, art. 10090800 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10200400 Correct Usage With this machine, all muscle groups of the back and of the thoracic spine that make sure the spinal column is kept upright and to stabilise the shoulder joint are trained.
6.15 compass Chest Press, art. 10090900 Correct Usage With this machine, the entire chest and arm stretching muscle are trained. Specific patient positioning The seating height is set depending on the size of the individual patient. The seat with the pneumatic compression spring can be adjusted by using the actuator below the seat.
6.16 compass Rowing Machine, art. 10091000 Correct Usage With this machine, all of the dorsal muscle groups of the pectoral girdle muscles and the back muscles in the area of the thoracic spine are trained, which are responsible for a correct spinal column posture. Specific patient positioning The seating position is upright when training.
6.17 compass Chest Press/Rowing Machine, art. 10145400 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10200200 Correct Usage With this machine, and a rowing movement all of the dorsal muscle groups of the pectoral girdle muscles and the back muscles in the area of the thoracic spine are trained, which are responsible for a correct spinal column posture.
6.18 compass Trunk Flexion, art. 10091900/250 KG user weight, art. 10201300 Correct Usage With this machine, the ventral trunk muscles are trained. Specific patient positioning The training takes place in a closed system, i.e. the feet are placed on the adjustable base plate, which can be set according to the body size and the desired starting position.
6.19 compass Back Extension, art. 10092000 Correct Usage With this machine, the dorsal trunk muscles are trained. Specific patient positioning The training takes place in a closed system, i.e. the feet are placed on the adjustable base plate, which can be set according to the body size and the desired starting position. For this purpose, the turning and locking handle is released by rotating half a turn anti- clockwise, and by pulling the knob, the footrests can be set.
