5.3.2 Concentric isotonic exercise

5.3.2.1 Single exercise parameter settings
In the same way as we have seen for the isokinetic concentric exercise, it is
necessary to set some parameters before starting the exercise.
In this case, the items that will be present on the screen are as follows:
Selection of the LIMB - Move the mouse over the figure of the human body and click
the desired limb.
Setting the ANGLE – This phase is used to calibrate the encoder. Position the patient
correctly (as instructions in section 4.3.1), attaching the lever to the ankle using the
system provided. Fully extend the leg and press the 0° button to save the position.
Eventually it is possible to do the same thing for 90° (bent leg). It is advisable to set
the parameters when the leg is extended (0°), unless the therapist judges that it is
impossible.
Number of repetitions – Move the cursor until the desired number displays and move
the mouse to the right or left in increments of units for a fine adjustment.
Extension/flexion load - Set the desired value by moving the cursor. Move the cursor
to the right or left in increments of units for a fine adjustment.
SYNCRO – The extension/flexion values will be the same.
The settings relating to the LIMITS and the COMPENSATION, as well as the analysis of
graphics, the exercise SERIES and the TEST mode, are like the case of isokinetic
exercise (see paragraph 5.3.1 and related sub-paragraphs).
