Safe posture
4 Safe posture
Before changing the operational mode of ALLUXTM using the Application Remote Control or before
adjusting or setting ALLUXTM using this App, the user needs to take a posture which is safe even if
hydraulic resistance changes. This posture is referred to as ‘safe posture’. Explain to the user about
safe posture.
[Request for safe posture]
If ALLUXTM is not in the safe posture when adjusting or setting ALLUXTM, a popup is displayed.
Make sure that the user is in a safe posture, and then tap the “OK” button to reflect the adjustments
or settings. If you tap the “Cancel” button, the adjustments or settings will be cancelled.
■Explain to the user about the safe posture, and ensure that the user
understands it.
■When the user takes the safe posture without applying the body weight
to ALLUXTM, he/she must hold a handrail or sit down.
Flexion/extension resistance may suddenly change, leading to a fall.
CAUTION
[Safe posture]
:State where ALLUXTM is stationary, straight, and vertical and may be
subject to weight loading
:State where ALLUXTM is not subject to weight bearing and the knee may
be flexed and stationary.

on a plane, etc. To restore wireless connection from that state, the actions such as the one shown below
are required.
