ARTROMOT®-E2 to
the patient
Note: The individual steps are illustrated
on page III.
@ a,b and c Horizontal
Extension/Flexion (Fig. A)
Horizontal adduction/abduction is
set manually. It is the purpose of the ad-
justment to achieve congruent axes of the
motor axis and the elbow joint.
• To begin with, press knob (1). Leave it
engaged in the open position.
• Now open screw (2). The double joint
now moves freely.
• Set the motion element with motor A to
the appropriate position. Make sure that
a congruence of the axis of motor A and
the elbow joint is achieved.
• Push knob (1) in the opposite direction.
• Tighten screw (2).
; Height adjustment (Fig. B)
Before opening locking screw (4), hold the
moving part of the CPM device by grasping
the double joint (3), to prevent the part
from falling down.
• Open screw (4) and set the motion ele-
ment to the appropriate height. Ensure
that the entire upper arm lies on the
support (5). The patient should sit up
straight and be relaxed.
• Tighten screw (4).
• Now check the agreement of the axis of
motor A and the elbow joint. If required,
make a fine adjustment of the vertical
orientation, using locking pin (6).

Patient hazard / equipment damage –
Hold motor B for this adjustment to
secure the device.
• Open the cam lever (8) and set the
appropriate length. Make sure that the
slider (9) is free to move at least 2 cm in
either direction. There must be enough
space for the fingers between the hand
support and motor B.
• Tighten the cam lever (8).

In most cases the setting is 0 on the scale.
In cases of a deformed forearm, the setting
may have to be changed.
• Open the locking screw (13) and perform
the adjustment.
• Tighten the locking screw (13).
( Backrest adjustment
