Application
The MOTOmed viva2 is suitable only for the active and passive
movement of a person’s lower and upper extremities. During the
training the MOTOmed viva2 can be operated with an operating panel.
Normal Use
During the training the user is seated in front of the device in a
safe and sturdy wheelchair or in a stable chair (without castors) with
a sufficiently high back. Make sure to sit up straight and that the
wheelchair (or chair) is secured sufficiently in order to prevent
tipping over.
Some specific power wheelchairs, standing chairs and sport
wheelchairs with a large front or which don’t have stowable or
removable foot rests are not suitable.
On special occasions the MOTOmed viva2 can also be used being in
a lying position.
You are only allowed to use the MOTOmed viva2 following the
instructions and safety precautions in this manual and if no therapist
or doctor states any contraindication. Adjustments and changes can
only be carried out with the pedals not moving – except for the
operation via the operating panel.

Training Hints
Before using the MOTOmed viva2 please consult your doctor and
therapist in order to adjust your training program and the duration
of your training sessions to your individual state of health.
Regular training with the MOTOmed viva2 is important in order to
achieve therapy benefits. At the beginning, you should not train for
more than 10 to 15 minutes continuously. It is better to train two to
three times per day for approximately 5 to 10 minutes each period.
Please start at a slow speed and with a small pedal radius. After
about one week you should slowly increase the duration of your
training, the speed and - if necessary – the pedal radius, according to
your individual response to the MOTOmed viva2 training.
How Do I Train Appropriately?
Do you have any questions about the training with the MOTOmed
viva2? Any problem that occurred? Please call your MOTOmed
representative or the RECK company, phone [phone].
We are pleased to assist you.

Instructions in Case of Spasms
If you are affected by spasticity, slow and regular movement with
the MOTOmed viva2 is important. Just like in physiotherapy, it is
recommended to train legs or arms in a way that no spasm will
occur.
Particularly in the beginning it is recommended to train at a slow
speed. You will notice that through this way of training, you will
experience less tension.
The MovementProtector with SpasmControl should always be
switched on (ex work setting) in case a spasm might occur or in the
case of sensitive tendons, joints or ligaments. If a spasm or a
resistance occurs, the motor stops automatically by the
MovementProtector. After a few moments the pedals start rotating
slowly again in the opposite direction.
The SpasmControl changes the direction of pedal rotation according
to the therapeutic principle looking for the direction in which the
spasm can be eased (antagonistic inhibition). Therefore, muscles can
relax and tensions are being relieved. This process will be repeated
until the spasm is released.
During the training the integrated MovementProtector adapts
automatically to the condition of your muscles (muscle tone).
Therefore, the MovementProtector is always optimally sensitive.
In order to improve the support of the legs, leg guides with calf
shells (item no. 502) are an essential accessory in the case of
spasticity. They provide secure and firm support.
In case of strong spasticity it is recommended to use a
wheelchair
stabilizer (item no. 8)
or a chair fixation with stabilizer (item
no. 511).
For special cases (e.g. osteoporosis, very strong spasticity) the
maximum motor power can be adjusted during passive training by
pressing the buttons “extras” and then “motor power”.

THERAPY SUGGESTIONS14
see page 52
see page 57
Low motor power: e.g. for osteoporosis
High motor power: e.g. for strong spasticity
Please consult your doctor and therapist before adjusting the motor
power.
In General
Pay attention to your seating position and posture when training –
especially when using the arm/upper body trainer. The wheelchair or
chair should be straight and in line with the MOTOmed viva2. You
should be sitting upright, back straight, resting on the back support
of the chair or wheelchair.
The degree of movement of the knee joint and hip joint depends on
the distance between the MOTOmed viva2 and the chair or weelchair.
Position your chair from the MOTOmed viva2 according to the
flexibility of your joints. Avoid at all times overstretching or locking
of the knee joints and start off sitting reasonably near the MOTOmed
viva2.
When using the arm/upper body trainer make sure that the elbow
joints are never fully stretched during the training. Adjust the
position of the arm/upper body trainer to your height.
If you lack support due to the effects of paralysis it is absolutely
essential that leg guides (item no. 502) and forearm shells (item
no. 556) are used. Always make sure that arms and legs are properly
secured in the forearm shells or foot shells.

Set Up
Unpack your MOTOmed viva2 and put it in an upright position. In
case the packaging or the MOTOmed viva2 got damaged through
transportation, please contact your MOTOmed representative.
Unpack the operating panel, as far as it is not mounted yet, and
place it onto the fixture, so that the plug interlocks. Fix the display
module with the two enclosed screws.
If an arm/upper body trainer (item no. 250 or 218) is fitted, you
should extend the front leg by approx. 15 cm/6 inches. However,
please keep a minimum insertion of the front leg of 10 cm/4 inches
for optimal stability of the MOTOmed. In order to adjust the front leg
of the device you have to tilt the MOTOmed backwards carefully,
open the two Allen screws at the bottom of the MOTOmed viva2 and
pull out the front leg of the device. After adjustment, please tighten
the Allen screws. You can find an Allen key at the bottom of the
device.

Stand-by Mode
Please plug the mains cable into the MOTOmed viva2 and the mains
plug into a wall socket.
The green light next to the “start/stop” button on the display module
is now blinking for 6 seconds. Then blinking changes to a continuous
light, the MOTOmed viva2 is now in stand-by mode. Only when the
“start/stop” button is pressed the MOTOmed will go into operation.
The MOTOmed viva2 is made for continuous stand-by mode.
For repair, cleaning or transportation of the MOTOmed, the mains
plug has to be unplugged.
In order to save energy, the MOTOmed viva2 switches into stand-by
mode a few minutes after the training. The energy usage in stand-by
mode is less than a television in stand-by mode. If the device is used
for training 1 hour daily and 23 hours in stand-by mode it will be
approximately 10 EUR in annual power costs (based on energy costs
in Germany).

Moving/Transporting
The MOTOmed viva2 is equipped with two large transport rollers so
that it can be easily moved within a building.
To move the MOTOmed, please hold the handlebar or the arm trainer
of the MOTOmed viva2 and tilt it backwards until you can easily pull
or push the MOTOmed viva2 on its large transport rollers. The mains
cable has to be detached completely prior to the transport.
If you have to move the MOTOmed viva2 over any small bumps,
make sure that both transport rollers move simultaneously over the
bump. Don’t use the transport rollers to move the MOTOmed viva2
across uneven ground (e.g. cobblestones). In both cases damage to
the casing of the MOTOmed viva2 and the electronics inside could
result.
For longer distances on uneven ground you should use a handcart
(i. e. trolley) in order to protect the transport rollers.
