Regular training with the MOTOmed viva1 is important in order to achieve therapy benefits. At the beginning, you should not train for more than 10-15 minutes continuously.
Page 15
Instructions in Case of Spasms If you are affected by spasticity, slow and regular movement with the MOTOmed viva1 is important. Just like in physiotherapy, it is recommended to train legs or arms in a way that no spasm will occur.
Page 16
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 viva1. You should be sitting upright, back straight, resting on the back support of the chair or wheelchair.

must not be stretched out completely at any time while training. Important: Make sure the wheelchair or chair is secure so that it will not move or slip. Leg insertion aid (if needed): Press and hold down the ”foot insertion aid” until the foot shells are in the best position for you to insert your foot.
Page 25
Breaks: In case you get tired we advise you to finish your active training. The MOTOmed viva1 will recognize this and take over automatically, moving your legs passively again. After a while you can try cycling yourself again (but only if you feel able to) - the MOTOmed will recognize this input and switch automatically to active mode again.
Page 26
9 Whenever you attach an arm/upper body trainer (item no. 550) to your MOTOmed viva1 you have to 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.
Page 27
RIGHT LEG Before switching on the MOTOmed viva1, press the button ”leg insertion aid” until the right foot shell stops in convenient position and then release. Now you can comfortably insert your first foot into the foot...
Page 28
For some types of wheelchairs it may be necessary to remove the foot plate or to swivel it aside in order to allow sufficient access to the MOTOmed viva1. However, if you decide not to train, the MOTOmed viva1 goes into stand-by mode after a few minutes. Start/Stop Legs To start or stop the pedal movement of the MOTOmed viva1, press the red button ”start/stop legs”.
Page 29
- depending on the individual patient, level of spasticity etc. Consult a doctor and therapist for advice. It depends on the set mode how the MOTOmed viva1 continues. With the mode ”FOR CLINIC” active, the MOTOmed viva1 adapts see page 38 automatically to the mobility of your legs.
Page 30
After a few seconds of training, the following training data will start to be presented on the display as a rolling update: training time in minutes (min), velocity in revolutions per minute (rpm), (theoretical) distance covered in kilometers (km) and further values: During passive training: During active training: DISTANCE: 0.7 km...

25 foot shell position. Pressing twice the red button ”start/stop legs” at a short interval will activate the emergency stop. The motor of the MOTOmed viva1 will stop immediately. Start/Stop Arms Before switching on the arm/upper body trainer please make sure you see page 69 have read and observed the safety precautions.
Page 32
Velocity The velocity of the MOTOmed viva1 can be adjusted by pressing the button with the turtle symbol to reduce the speed and by pressing the button with the rabbit symbol to increase the speed. The minimum velocity is 0 rpm and maximum velocity is 60 rpm.
Page 33
ServoCycling ServoCycling is a special function of the MOTOmed viva1 for users with very little residual muscle strength. It works in a similar way to power-assisted steering - whereby it is possible to steer a truck with only a single finger.
Page 34
SymmetryTraining SymmetryTraining is a function which appears only while doing active (or assisted) leg training. It appears automatically on the display in the regular sequence of training data (time, distance, symmetry, …). The function helps the user to practice and develop a symmetrical application of force while active training by presenting the activity of the two legs on the display.
Page 35
If you wish to cancel a training time that you have set, press the ”-” button until the display shows ”CONTINUOUS OPERATION”. The MOTOmed viva1 is now in continuous operating mode and will run continuously until it is switched off with the ”start/stop legs” button.
Page 36
MOTOmed viva1. How it works: If the SpasmControl is activated (i.e. on) and a spasm occurs during the training, the MOTOmed viva1 recognizes this resistance, then the motor stops gently and pauses and the pedals release.
Page 37
Hold/Change Display, Analysis During the training you can use the button ”hold/change display, analysis” to hold the information which is currently shown on the display or request the subsequent training data. The rotation of displayed information stops upon pressing the button ”hold/change display, analysis”...

Page 40
Menu-Option: Preadjustment Using the program FOR CLINIC (which is the factory setting), the MOTOmed will start with a short warm-up phase. During this warm- up, the basic muscle tone of the user is monitored and a suitable velocity is set automatically by the MOTOmed. These settings can be altered by the user using the remote control at any time.
Page 41
All parameters (velocity, direction, resistance, upper limit motor power, training time etc.) can be individually set. The settings apply only to the current training and are not saved. In order to set the MOTOmed viva1 to P1: STANDARD, press: 1. ”mode” 2. ”mode”...

Leg Guides with Calf Shells Item no. 502 The leg guides (fig. 12) at the safety foot shell are movable and spring mounted so that the ankle joint movement is possible. This is important as the calf-muscle pump in the legs can increase the speed of the blood flowing back to the heart.
Page 46
Please ensure that you do not place too much weight on one side of the handle i.e. when standing up: do not prop yourself up on one side of the handle since this could cause the MOTOmed viva1 to tip over. For hygiene reasons, the handlebar covering is washable and can also be desinfected with regular disinfectants.

Please follow these steps when changing the pedal radius: 1. First stop the pedal movement of the MOTOmed viva1 by pressing the red ”start/stop” button twice. 2. Remove feet from the foot shells.
Page 49
Before using the arm/upper body trainer it is important to pull out the front leg about 15 cm / 6 inches (ensure a minimum insertion of 10 cm / 4 inches). This improves the stability of the MOTOmed viva1 see page 16 necessary for the arm training.
Page 50
The integrated handlebar of the arm trainer can be used to hold onto during leg training. To do arm training, please take the feet off the foot shells and swivel the arm/upper body trainer clockwise by 180 degrees. Please follow these steps: 1.

Forearm Shells with Arm Cuffs Item no. 556 cross grip forearm shell pedal crank with arm cuff fig. 20 wing screw The forearm shells can only be used in combination with the see page 47, 49 arm/upper body trainer (item no. 550 and 518). They are required if the arms need support and guidance due to paralysis.
Page 53
Attention: It is important to make sure that the hands (and fingers) are fixed in a way that they cannot touch the pedal cranks. Training with forearm shells may only be done under supervision. For retrofit of the forearm shells, please open the Allen screw at the ball bearing. You find an appropriate Allen key at the underside of the MOTOmed viva1.

Page 82
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the MOTOmed viva1 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MOTOmed viva1 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the MOTOmed viva1.
