6. Training Modes
The training modes provide a simple means of setting up training or exercise sessions. Six
interactive, game-like training modes are provided. These modes allow for fast patient setups
and the ability to change stability level from very unstable to static during the actual training
session. All six training modes can be customized to provide specific rehab goals.
Patients direct the cursor movement on screen by shifting their weight from foot-to-foot or
leaning in a particular direction.
Training mode formats include: Percent Weight Bearing, Weight Shift, Postural Stability, Motor
Control, Maze Control, and Random Control.
There is an option for selecting a customized protocol. The steps for customizing a protocol are
listed in the System Utilities section of this document.

Percent Weight Bearing Training
Percent Weight-Bearing Training provides real-time feedback of the percentage of weight-
bearing on a patient’s foot, ankle, knee, hip, body side, and such. In this mode, targets can be
set that encourage patients to focus on weight-bearing goals in anterior, posterior, medial, and
lateral movements. Therapists and patients should find weight-bearing training to be an
effective mode for communicating what, where, and how a patient’s body weight is located.
Movement feedback can be limited to Medial Lateral, Anterior Posterior, or combined.
