PERFORMA
UNPACKING
1. Remove machine from the box and place on a flat surface.
2. Slide the footplate assembly into the machine then tighten the yellow knobs.
3. Assemble the thigh slide (opposite end of machine to the footplate) using the red
knobs, the video "Performa unboxing set up" helpfully shows how to do both of these
actions.
4. Move the thigh slide to the side of the machine nearest to the leg requiring treatment
and tighten the wing nut
5. Plug in the mains cable and switch the machine on.
6. The machine is now ready for operation.
7. A more detailed description of the setup can be found in the user guide (Performa
Manual)
SETUP
1. Using the disposable tape measure provided measure the length of the lower leg
from the sole of the foot to the centre of the knee joint. Then set this measurement on
the machine by releasing the yellow knob and sliding the footplate so the distance
between the where the sole rests in the footplate and the central axis (the white
module with the cable attached #34 in Fig 1 overleaf) is equal to the measurement.
2. Similarly measure the distance from the centre of the hip joint to the centre of the
knee joint and set the machine up accordingly with the use of the red knobs, the
measurement is from the white axis module #34 to point #32 which is where the hip
will sit when the machine is in use. Either or both red knobs can be used to set this
measurement.
3. Observe the video CPM Performa User guide for more detail on this.
4. Turning to the remote control panel use buttons 12 , 13 and 11 set the parameters to
control the Extension and the Flexion, typical examples for this might be 5 degrees
and 45 degrees but all depending on the current state of movement in the knee. It is
recommended that the speed and the force setting are set to a low value until the
user becomes accustomed to the movement.
5. Now, press the start button and observe the movement. When ready to proceed set
the timer (#19) to desired time and bring the machine to rest in the "flat" position for
ease of placing affected leg in machine.
6. Place your foot in the footplate and adjust the angle (using the blue knurled knobs)
for comfort.
7. Check that your knee joint is perfectly aligned with the centre joint, see FIGURE 1
8. Start the machine, and when comfortable with the movement you can gradually begin
to alter the parameters to increase the flex and speed.
