5.3.3 Concentric hydrodynamic exercise
5.3.3.1 Single exercise parameter setting
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 Strenght - 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).
5.3.4 Concentric isometric exercise
5.3.4.1 Single exercise parameter setting
In the same way as we have seen for the other concentric exercises, 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. Set the desired leg angulations, engage the mechanical lock on the
front of the device body (see point 6 in the figure in paragraph 3.2), estimate/measure
the leg flexion angle and set the value by pressing the corresponding virtual button or
using the cursor.
Time – Sets the duration time of each exercise. 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.
