5.5 Protocol details –
Comfort models
− You access the different programming
levels by repeated depressions of the
MENU key.
− You select the treatment parameters
with the corresponding parameter key.
− You change the treatment values with
the +/- keys and you enable/disable
functions by pressing the corresponding
parameter key again.
− You save the settings by pressing the
STOP key.
All special functions are disabled upon
delivery and in the "New patient" mode.
Note!
LEVEL 1: equivalent to level 1 of
the standard model (see: 5.3)
LEVEL 2: equivalent to level 2 of
the standard model (see: 5.3)
LEVEL 3:
n stretch extension
With the special "stretch exten-
sion" function the joint will be gently
stretched beyond the extension limit.
Starting at the middle position the
carriage will first move to the pro-
grammed flexion limit and then to the
programmed extension limit.
Subsequently the carriage reverses 5 °
toward the flexion angle and then
moves very slowly back again to the
programmed extension limit (display
<=). After that it attempts to stretch the
joint another 5 °, moving even slower
than before (display <<).
If a high resistance toward the ad-
ditional 5 ° is sensed, the reverse on
load function is automatically activated
and the carriage moves in the opposite
direction.
This stretch cycle is repeated 10 times.
After that the carriage moves to the
programmed flexion limit and restarts
the stretch extension cycle.

It is not possible to activate the special
"stretch extension" and "stretch flexion"
functions at the same time.
Note!
If an extension pause has been pro-
grammed, the carriage will stop for the
pause each time the maximum stretch-
ing value is attained.
n stretch flexion
With the special "stretch flexion"
function the joint will be gently
stretched beyond the flexion limit.
Starting at the middle position the
carriage will first move to the pro-
grammed extension limit and then to
the programmed flexion limit.
Subsequently the carriage reverses 5 °
toward the extension angle and then
moves very slowly back again to the
programmed flexion limit (display =>).
After that it attempts to stretch the
joint another 5 °, moving even slower
than before (display >>).
If a high resistance toward the
additional 5° is sensed, the reverse on
load function is automatically activated
and the carriage moves in the opposite
direction.
This stretch cycle is repeated 10 times.
After that the carriage moves to the
programmed extension limit and re-
starts the stretch flexion cycle.
It is not possible to activate the special
"stretch flexion" and "stretch extension"
functions at the same time.
Note!
If a flexion pause has been programmed,
the carriage will stop for the pause each
time the maximum stretching value is
attained.
