Tension Adjustments; Correct Position - Saebo SaeboMAS mini Product Manual

1. Tension Adjustments

a. Increase Tension/Support: Rotate the Tension Adjustment Handle in a clockwise
direction.
b. Decrease Tension/Support: Rotate the Tension Adjustment Handle in a counter-
clockwise direction.
c. To avoid damage, once the desired tension is reached, be sure to move the Tension
Adjustment Handle away from the frame.
2. Progressing the Program
a. When appropriate, consider decreasing the amount of tension provided to further
challenge the affected arm.
Important:
How much support should be provided?
Each individual will require a customized program based on his or her motor impairments.
There should be enough support provided to successfully complete the functional task. At
the same time, the support should be limited to challenge the user. Finding a balance
between too much support and too little will be important.
