Swivel or Fixed Seat and Wheelchair Use
Adjust seat or wheelchair forward or backward to a
comfortable location for the upper body movement. A slight
torso rotation is desired on extension. Avoid locking arms
at extension by adjusting the seat position or arm crank
radius. Adjust the height of the cranks to a comfortable
position that encourages proper posture or at the desired
angle for specific training or rehabilitation movements. Such
movements and adjustments should be under the guidance
and supervision of a fitness or medical professional. If
your Pro2 features a seat with height adjustment, you may
adjust either the seat height or the control head to obtain
the desired axis of rotation and body position.
Crank Length Adjustment
Adjust the foot and crank arm radius to desired length. The
longer the crank arm length the larger the circle the user
will experience when exercising. Generally a larger circle
will result in broader muscle recruitment and greater torso
rotation.
Comfort is a key issue and these guidelines may be
helpful.
Users Height:
5’ 6” and under = shortest crank settings
5’ 7” to 5’10” = middle crank settings
5’ 11” and taller = longest crank setting
Important Note: When using this product for medical
or rehabilitation purpose, the crank radius, seat height and
distance should be set by the attending therapist or medical
professional based on the specific needs of the user.
Always follow medical professionals guidelines to
reduce the risk of personal injury. Failure to follow
their directions may result in injury to yourself.
