Hand/pulse measurement

During training on the Bike Reha, a Polar® hand/pulse monitoring system can also be used (optional).
First disconnect the ear sensor from the control panel. Grasp the two hand/pulse sensors that are
attached to the steering column firmly in both hands. When a pulse value is measured this will appear in
the top right-hand corner of the control panel. It can take some time (about 20 seconds) before the
measured pulse value appears on the screen. Throughout the training session keep your hands on the
two hand/pulse sensors.

Maintenance of the hand/pulse sensors:

•
Clean the sensors carefully after use with a mild soap solution
•
Rinse with clean water
•
Dry the sensors again thoroughly

Adjusting the Bike Reha

On the Bike Reha you can make the following adjustments to optimally match the Bike Reha to your
patient.
4.6.1

Steering

To adjust the steering in the vertical dimension, turn the two handles (Fig. 1, number 6) on the front of the
Bike Reha to the left. You can then adjust the steering column to the desired height and tighten the
handles again by turning them to the right.
To adjust the steering in the horizontal dimension, turn the two handles (Fig. 1, number 5) to the left. You
can then adjust the steering in the desired direction and tighten the handles again by turning them to the
right.
These handles should not be used to move the Bike Reha as this may damage them.
4.6.2

Saddle

The saddle can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally. Pull the knob (Fig. 1, number 3) towards you
while adjusting the height of the saddle. Make sure that the knob is inserted into the hole at the desired
height. The saddle can also be adjusted horizontally (Fig. 1, number 4). Turn the handle to the left and
then adjust the saddle to the desired position. After the adjustment, tighten the handle by turning it to the
right again.
The saddle height of the Bike Reha is at its optimum when the client's heels are resting on the lowest
pedal position while his or her leg is fully extended.
4.6.3

Adjustable cranks

Optionally the Bike Reha is also available ex-works with adjustable cranks. These adjustable cranks allow
for optimum training even when the client is restricted in his or her movements. No tools are required to
adjust the cranks.
To guarantee a correct and safe training technique the cranks must be adjusted by the
trainer/physiotherapist.
