The collected data are presented
graphically in the form of a coordinate
system (X-axis = range of motion / Y-
axis = time) where the upper curve il-
lustrates the trend of the dorsal
extension movement and the lower
curve the trend of the plantar flexion
movement.

inversion / eversion therapy docu-
mentation
KINEX-Ankle
has a special docu-
mentation function which provides a
log of all therapy sessions.
The carriage run times as well as the
range of motion of the sessions are
recorded.
The collected data are presented
graphically in the form of a coordinate
system (X-axis = range of motion / Y-
axis = time) where the upper curve il-
lustrates the trend of the eversion
movement and the lower curve the
trend of the inversion movement.
■
stretching in dorsal extension
With the special “stretching in dorsal
extension” function the carriage gen-
tly stretches the joint by bending the
foot upward.
Starting at the middle position the
carriage will first move to the pro-
grammed plantar flexion value and
then to the programmed dorsal ex-
tension value.
Subsequently the carriage reverses 5°
towards plantar flexion and then
moves very slowly back again to the
programmed dorsal extension value
(display
). After that it attempts to
attain another 5 °, moving even
slower than before (display
).
If a high resistance toward the addi-
tional 5 ° is sensed, the reverse on
load function is automatically acti-
vated and the carriage moves in the
opposite direction.
This stretch cycle is repeated ten times.
After that the carriage moves to the
programmed maximum plantar flexion
value and restarts the dorsal exten-
LEVEL 5
sion stretch cycle.
default setting: disabled
■
stretching in plantar flexion
With the special "stretching in plantar
flexion" function the carriage gently
stretches the joint by bending the foot
downward.
Starting at the middle position the
carriage will first move to the pro-
grammed dorsal extension value and
then to the programmed plantar flex-
ion value.
Subsequently the carriage reverses 5°
towards dorsal extension and then
moves very slowly back again to the
programmed plantar flexion value
(display
). After that it attempts to
attain another 5°, moving even slower
than before (display
).
If a high resistance toward the addi-
tional 5° is sensed, the reverse on
load function is automatically acti-
vated and the carriage moves in the
opposite direction.
This stretch cycle is repeated ten
times.
After that the carriage moves to the
programmed maximum dorsal exten-
sion value and restarts the plantar
flexion stretch cycle.
default setting: disabled
Note!
- If a pause is programmed when you
enable the function, the carriage
will stop for the duration of the
pause each time the maximum
stretching value is attained.
- Enabling the stretching in dorsal
extension function automatically
disables motor B. The only move-
ment performed is dorsal extension
/ plantar flexion.
- It is not possible to combine a sec-
ond stretching function with the
special function "stretching in dor-
sal extension".
- During operation the display will
show the symbol
