Using The Belt; Training - Hocoma Valedo Manuel De L'utilisateur

 Both sensors are interchangeable and can be used either on the chest or the
lower back.
 Take care to place the sensors correctly. If the sensors are placed
incorrectly it may cause different visual feedback and may lead to
exaggerated movements on the screen.

Using the Belt

Placing sensor in the belt and putting belt on
1. Click sensor into the belt (see Chapter 1).
2. Pull belt around your chest or pelvis.
3. Hook buckle into loop.
4. Pull loose end of belt to tighten.
5. Move until sensor is in the correct position, either chest or pelvis (See above
for sensor position).
6. Tighten again until sensors do not shift position while you move.

Training

Once you have put on the sensors, training can begin. Training involves various
exercises in a game environment; each exercise is designed for you to execute
specific movements.
Training is done through the Valedo application on your computing device. Tap the
icon to enter the application.

All training exercises are designed to target a specific lower back movement; each
movement will be demonstrated before starting the exercise. Take care to mimic
the movement exactly; this will minimize the risk of improper movements and
injuries stemming therefrom.
Take care not to overtrain, especially during your first sessions with Valedo.
While motivation in training is always positive, prolonged or overtraining can
result in muscle fatigue, which may cause further injury when undertaking
daily tasks.
If the exercise requires a movement that is outside of your capabilities, do
not "push" to make the correct movement. The best way to avoid this
situation is to redo the Range of Motion settings to reestablish the limits of
your personal movement range.
1. Close the software application on your computing device.
2. Remove the sensors.
3. Remove the double-sided tape (from you or the sensors).
4. Dispose of the double-sided tape.
5. Wipe the sensor with a damp cloth.
6. Store the sensors in the Valedo case.
