• During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the
message window by pressing the Display key. You may also switch
between the speed prole, power prole or a quarter mile track by
pressing the Display key adjacent to the dot matrix display. There is
an RPM graph to the right of the dot matrix to monitor user speed.
• When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same
program again or Stop to exit the program, or you can save the
program you just completed as the Facility program by pressing the
Facility key and following the instructions in the message window.
Symmetry
The Symmetry program may aid in achieving a more balanced pedaling
stroke for patients with lower limb deciencies, such as stroke patients
and post-op knee patients. The program will measure the left and right
power around the pedal rotation and display the watt measurements in
the message window. The dot matrix display will show a graph indicating
the leg power symmetry so the user has a visual feedback to aid in
improving the involved limb’s strength.
• Press the Symmetry key then press the Enter key.
• The message window will prompt you to enter the Time for the
program. You may enter the time using the Up and Down keys or the
numeric key pad then press the Enter key to accept and proceed to
the next screen.
• You may turn the Auto-brake on or o then press enter to continue.
Since the auto-brake may be activated with severe asymmetry the
auto-brake default setting is o. If you want the auto-brake feature
operational please set to on and press enter.
• Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin by pressing
the Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by
pressing the Enter key.
For best results
The Symmetry program starts at level 1 and the resistance needs to
be increased manually by pressing the Up arrow. Make sure to set the
resistance to a level where the patient is doing enough work to generate
a meaningful measurement. It is recommended to set the resistance as
high as the patient can perform without discomfort, but low enough so
they can complete full pedal revolutions. Very low resistance settings
result in erratic or inconsistent measurements.
