Safety Instructions
This chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects for the safe and proper
operation of the Armotion.
3.1
Intended Use
Only when used according to the specifications of the user manual, the operating safety can be
guaranteed. The Armotion is intended only for use on patients with severe and moderate motor
disorder of the upper extremities – shoulder and elbow. Dedicated software, with numerous
exercises, allows the therapist to choose the ideal protocol according to the patient’s dysfunction
and therapeutic goal.
The software records and evaluates each exercise done by the patient
The fields of application include:
• Neurological Rehabilitation
• Post-traumatic rehabilitation
• Orthopaedic and after surgery rehabilitation
The Armotion also finds applications in those patients without force and / or without anti-gravity
abilities (i.e. patients who are unable to lift the arm/shoulder). The use of the Armotion in the
rehabilitation of the upper extremities has shown clinical effectiveness in the treatment of
patients with damage to the central nervous system (i.e. post stroke recovery) and in patients
with neurodegenerative syndromes and polyneuropathies. . . As mentioned it may be particularly
useful for those patients with serious motor limitations that therefore could not be treated with
conventional occupational therapy.
The Armotion is a medical device according to CE class 2a and therefore it shall be used with a
prescribed physical therapy.
