Activeforever Phoenix Model 1850 Knee CPM - Manual (Page 6)

PATIENT SETUP
Correct measurement and adjustments are required to ensure patient comfort and compliance and to achieve desired range of
motion. Check that the unit is at 0 degrees during patient setup.
Note: Use only on a stable surface.
An unstable surface could result in injury to patient and damage to the device.
FITTING THE PATIENT
 Determine the length of the patient’s femur by measuring from the greater trochanter (hip joint) to the center or joint line of
the knee.
 Transfer this measurement to the thigh cradle beginning approximately 1.5 to 2 inches away from the hip pivot assembly
measuring to the knee axis of the unit. Adjust the thigh cradle to match this measurement by loosening the thigh
adjustment knobs and sliding the thigh cradle to the proper length. Note: The DC2480 maximum cradle adjustment is 3
inches. Do not extended beyond this point. If patient’s thigh length exceeds these measurements, simply increase the
beginning point of measurement to 4 to 6 inches away from the hip pivot assembly.
 Loosen the calf cradle adjustment knobs and extend the foot assembly. Do not remove this assembly -- only slide far
enough for patient placement. Position the patient's leg in the unit, with softgoods in place.
 Slide the foot assembly toward patient accordingly leaving one half inch gap between the patient’s foot and the foot plate.
Tighten the calf cradle adjustment knobs securely.
 The foot assembly may be adjusted in plantar flex or dorsi flex positions. Loosen the adjustment knobs on the foot
assembly, adjust the foot plate to the desired positioning and securely tighten the adjustment knobs.
Remember: The goal is to align the knee axis of the patient with the knee pivot axis of the CPM
