Maximize safety and support in your gait training sessions with Andago®V2.0's fall limit feature. Here's how to make the most of it: 1️⃣ Understand the Purpose: The fall limit governs how much vertical displacement your patient can travel during training before the Andago activates its safety mechanism and stops. 2️⃣ Set Default Fall Limit: By pushing and holding the "set default fall limit" button, you can easily set the fall limit to its default height. 3️⃣ Default Height Details: The default fall limit allows your patient to safely move downward by 7 centimeters and upward by 13 centimeters. This range is carefully designed to accommodate normal up-down movement during walking and facilitate step training, enabling patients to step up onto a step while still being provided body-weight support and without halting the Andago. Empower your patients with safe gait training using Andago®! Learn more here. https://lnkd.in/g62sP8V

We are excited to have Foivos P. join us as our new Clinical Applications Manager, EMEA. After completing his rigorous training in, he's ready to hit the ground running and support our clients across the region.

Designed to bridge the gap between treadmill-based gait training and overground walking, Andago®V2.0 offers mobile fall protection and dynamic body-weight support for enhanced gait training experiences. 💡 Dynamic body-weight support refers to a system that provides varying levels of assistance to individuals during movement, particularly walking or #gait training. Unlike static support systems that offer a fixed assistance regardless of movement, dynamic body-weight support adjusts in real-time to accommodate the changing needs of the individual as they move. 💡 The Andago body weight support is dynamic, meaning it can compensate the normal vertical displacement of 1 to 4 cm seen throughout the complete gait cycle. With our innovative fall range limit, patients receive dynamic support while stepping over obstacles or practicing stepping up steps. Stay tuned for more insights and learn how to properly setup of the body-weight support for gait training and how to maximize the use of the body-weight support settings to the advantage of your patients. https://lnkd.in/g62sP8V
