Medical Indications Claimed medical indications include use in relation to the prevention, treatment and/or alleviation of disease. Fall Prevention Claim: Power Plate® training can be a beneficial tool/intervention for the elderly population to prevent falls. Definition: Fall prevention is defined as a variety of actions to help reduce the number of accidental falls suffered by older people.
Important Safety Instructions Before using the Power Plate® machine, it is essential that you read the entire user manual, including all warnings and safety instructions. You should also convey all such warnings and instructions to any other person using the Power Plate machine. Retain this user manual for future reference. Never reach into or under the machine, or tip the machine on its side, while it is in operation.
My7 Touchscreen controls ! Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Precautions The my7™ model is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. Both models have been tested against, and have passed the applicable requirements of relevant electromedical standards, including EN 60601-1-2:2007.
Settings G-factor™ The my7 model offers a new way of setting the machine, called the G-Factor™, which simplifies how one sets the machine to operate at various levels of intensity. The G-Factor combines the frequencies and amplitudes, as shown in the table below. The term G-factor™ is based on g-forces as described in paragraph 1.2 Intensity Level, a combination of frequency and amplitude. Programs and exercises performed on the my7 model will always communicate the recommended settings as G-Factor.
proMOTION ™ Dynamic Vibration Technology How Does it Work? proMOTION™ Dynamic Vibration Technology uses high strength Vectran® cables, which have been specifically chosen for their unique ability to optimize the transfer of vibrations generated by the platform directly to the targeted muscle. Specifically upper body muscles. The Vectran cables, which pound-by-pound are five times stronger than steel, transfer vibration to the upper body at high-speed frequency rates between 30 and 40 times per second.
Varying the Intensity Training on the Power Plate machine is like any other type of training: start with light and short training sessions, and once accustomed to the vibrations, one can begin to gradually intensify the program. We strongly recommend that you always listen to what your own body is telling you. The step-by-step build up of intensity is extremely important for your training so that it is both efficiently and responsibly.
