Training Sessions

The following training sessions were carried out as part of the study:

• a) 10 minutes of passive training. The number of revolutions for the passive mode was set from 10 – 40 rpm for every individual patient. The automatic change of direction of rotation was set to two minutes.
• b) Then 5 minutes of active training was set, whereby the level of resistance was set between 1(= low resistance) and 10 (= average resistance) while the patient’s pulse was being monitored.
• c) The response behavior of the spasm control function was set individually for each patient.
• d) The pedal radius was set individually for each patient.

The same is repeated for the upper and lower body.

The Results

Therapeutic efficacy, course of therapeutic application and treatment goals achieved the following results for the Kinevia Clinical Study:

• Increase in vigilance
• Increase in the blood supply to the trained muscles
• Stabilisation of circulatory behaviour
• Increase in general well-being

The use of the “Kinevia” movement coach is useful for types of paralysis or neuromuscular disorders with loss of function to arms/legs, e.g. as a result of high transverse lesions, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, consequences of brain injury or neuromuscular diseases with comparable damage.

Results of the functions of the device

• The display is easy to read. All buttons are easy to use.
• Acceleration is slow and linear. The maximum final speed is reached after a minimum of 15 seconds.
• An automatic spasm detection function is integrated.
• The response behavior of the spasm detection function is appropriately and adequately.
