1. INTRODUCTION
Wishing you satisfaction of PICTOR usage, we thank you for your choice.
PICTOR device is a response for the patients who are suffering from the wrist and elbow dysfunctions. Due to its
adaptavity it enables to perform three independent movements: flexion and extension, abduction and adduction of
the wrist and rotation of the elbow. Construction of PICTOR device enables the complex rehabilitation of the wrist
based on self-assisted, active and resistance exercises.
This manual provides all the needed information concerning PICTOR device proper functioning.
The manufacturer is entitled to change the content of the manual when it’s needed. The updated version of the
manual will be available to download from the manufacturer's website www.termamed.pl from the "Downloads"

4. DEVICE SETUP
The device reaches the Customer not demanding any special setup activities to begin the operation. The device
is adaptive due to the multifunctional features and customizable structure.
Spacing of forearm pads to adjust them to the lenght of the forearm (A) can be achieved due to the knobs
located under the pads (4).
Adjusting the height (B) is achieved by height positioning of the forearm crane (3).
Adjusting the angle of the forearm pad towards the base (C)is performer through the release of the knob
under the right pad.
To change the space between the handle and the frame to adjust to certain dimensions (5) is performed by
positioning knob (12).

5. ADVISED EXERCISES
PICTOR device enables abduction, adduction, flexion and extension of the wrists together with rotation
of the forearms performed as self-assisted, active and resistance exercises.
5.1. Flexion, extension, abduction and adduction of the wrist:
Adjust the forepads (check point 4).
Release the positioning knob (13).
Lock the positioning knob (7).
To perform self-assisted exercises the weight must be detached (6).
To perform resistance exercises the weight needs to be attached (6) to the socket (11).


5.2. Rotation of the forearm:
Adjust the pads (check point 4),
Lock the positioning knob (13).
Release positioning knob (7).
Detach the weight to perform self-assisted exercises (6).
Attach the weight(6) to the socket (8) to perform the resistance exercises.
Adjusting the device to perform abduction and adduction exercises is equal to flexion and extension setup
described above. Only the position of the handle must me changed (5) from the horizontal into vertical. To
set this position the positioning knob must be released (7), the handles placed in the demanded position
and the positioning knob locked again (7).
While performing flexion, extension, abduction and adduction exercises the weight (6) cannot be attached
to the socket (8)

5.3. Weight attachment
The weight is used to perform the resistance exercises (6), which according to the place where it is
attached, generates a different moment of strength. The weight can be attached in one of two sockets
(8) –rotation; (11) –adduction and abduction, flexion and extension:
