AxonArm Ergo 12K501=*
Region 1
Minimal compensation that allows natural free swing of
the arm while walking.
Region 2
Compensation increases progressively with flexion of
the arm and decreases during extension.
Region 3
Compensation remains constant. If set correctly, the
weight of the forearm is balanced by the compensation
and the elbow remains flexed.
Region 4
Reduced compensation until flexion stop.
1) Flex the AxonArm Ergo and minimise the compens­
ation force using the dial.
2) Flex the AxonArm Ergo until a loop can be made in
the strap using your finger (approx. 45°) and lock
the joint using the pull cable.
