Patient Setup Information Screen Parameters
NOTE: The parameter for Height is a mandatory field and must be completed before balance
training can begin.
● First and Last Name: Optional, touch the pop-up keyboards to enter the first and last
name. Touch <OK> to continue.
● ID#: Optional or required, depending on Configuration settings. Touch the pop-up
<Keypads> to enter an identification number. Touch <OK> to continue.
● Gender: Optional, touch the appropriate icon to choose <Male> or <Female>.
● Height: Required, this setting is used to calculate Center of Gravity (COG) in all training
and testing protocols operating with the platform in its fixed position (static mode).
Touch the appropriate <Height> icon to select the desired range. This value can be a
manual number entry; see Fig 5.2b. The manual height entry option can be set within
the Configuration option in System Utilities.
● Weight: Optional, for new patients, a weight can be entered in pounds or kilograms
depending upon the Configuration settings.
NOTE: If a patient has been selected using the Select a Patient function, the application will
display the existing height and weight as was previously recorded. If height or weight has
changed, the numbers can be adjusted and new test results will feature the updated
information. Once a test is performed, there is no way to edit the height or weight recorded for
that test result. Patient height and weight can be changed at any time from the Patient
Management screen in System Utilities. The new numbers will be used for any subsequent tests.
● Age / Date of Birth: Range is from 10 to 120 years old. Touch the <Age> keypad and
use the pop-up keypad to change the value. This value can be derived from a Date of
Birth entry; see Fig 5.2b. The Age/DOB option can be set within the Configuration option
in System Utilities. Touch <OK> to continue.
● Test Options: The Test Options screen will vary with each Training or Testing mode.
These settings will be described in more detail in later sections of this document.
