ELITE USER MANUAL
Spastic Automation:
A “Neuro” function. The Spastic Automation function is used to set the direction of rotation
following detection of a spasm. Select from the following options:
•
Forward
if the patient tends to suffer extension spasms
•
Backward
if the patient tends to suffer flexion spasms
•
Change
to have the exerciser rotate in the opposite direction to the direction it was rotating when the spasm
was detected
•
Follow
to have the exerciser rotate in the same direction it was rotating when the spasm was detected
Speed Adaptation:
A “Neuro” function. If Automatic Speed Adaption is set to “ON” the “assisted” exercising
(motor) speed automatically adjusts to greater effort by the patient when exercising “actively.”
If a patient is exercising in “active” mode” at 50 rpm when the motor speed (“assisted” exercising
speed) is set to 20 rpm, after every 10 seconds, the Omnicycle
®
Elite adjusts the “assisted” exercising speed
upward by 1 rpm to a maximum of 35 rpm. If the patient subsequently changes back to “assisted” exercising,
the Omnicycle
®
Elite drops the speed to 5 rpm lower than the active speed, or 30 rpm, whichever is lower. Thus
the patient individually controls the speed and obtains an “assisted” exercising speed at which he/she is
comfortable.
Heart rate limit:
The Omnicycle
®
Elite reduces the resistance level as soon as the pre-set heart rate limit is reached.
This is to ensure that the patient always exercises at a heart rate below the pre-set limit.
Because a high level of effort is required for all Ortho and Cardio exercising programs, using a long
crank length is advisable.
Level:
This function applies to the biofeedback-based exercise programs Soccer, Porcupine and Traffic Jam. This
function allows the operator to choose a difficulty setting of minimal, moderate or maximum.
Maximum Symmetry:
Available for lower extremity Porcupine program. Allows the operator to adjust how close
the Porcupine will be positioned from the edge of the border by percentage (70% 80% 90% 100%).At 100% the
Porcupine will be at edge position of the border.
Muscle Support:
An “Ortho” function. This function assists patients with only minimal residual strength or
minimal strength on one side. The residual strength is supplemented by this function so that an even pedaling action
is always obtained. The function operates according to the principle of “as much assistance as necessary but as little
assistance as possible.” The objective of this function is to optimize the patient’s exercise effort at all times and to
achieve greater symmetry.
In the case of leg-amputee patients, the Muscle Assistance function performs the work of the inactive
side. In such cases, the Muscle Assistance function operates like an “electronic flywheel”.
Sens. Mic:
(Microphone sensitivity) A System function. The Omnicycle
®
Elite can be stopped by a long, loud shout
(safety voice deactivation). This function is particularly useful for patients who use the upper extremity exerciser
with their arms strapped to the armrests and cannot, therefore, use the control pad. The safety voice deactivation
function is always active. The menu option Technical/Microphone sensitivity allows you to set the sensitivity of the
integrated microphone in the control pad. Set the sensitivity as follows:
•
1 to 3 if the ambient noise is very loud
•
4 to 6 if the ambient noise is of a normal level
•
7 to 10 if the ambient noise is very quiet
•
OFF if the therapist wishes to deactivate the microphone
Check that the setting is correct by carrying out a practical test. Afterwards press the “START”
button to continue the exercising session.
Contrast:
The contrast of the color screen is set at the factory. If necessary, it can be adjusted by selecting the
menu option “Technical/Contrast.”
