designate a Height value, which is correlated to the software’s scoring algorithm based on
the calculated Center of Gravity.
4. Touch <Test Options> to advance to the Postural Stability Training Options screen if

on or off.
5. Use the <▲> or <▼> keys to set the total time in ten-second increments (during the routine,
the system will count down from the time setting selected). If no time is set, the timer will

displayed keypad (static, 1 is most stable, 12 is least stable). Touch <OK> to return to the
Postural Stability Training Options screen and set the ending platform stability in the same

(static, 1 is most stable, 12 is least stable).
12. Explain the training protocol to the patient and press <Start> on the display to begin the
training session. The Score number charts the patient’s stability performance through the
course of the training session. Touch the <Magnifying Glass> icon to enlarge the screen if
