Motor Control Training
The Motor Control Training screen is designed to challenge the user to move through a
movement pattern consistent with one’s ‘sway envelope.’ The sway envelope is the area a
person can move their Center of Gravity (COG) within their base of support. It is approximated
as 8 degrees to one side, 8 degrees to the other (total of 16 degrees of sway,) and 8 degrees
forward and 4 degrees back (12 degrees total). Both the Motor Control training and testing
modes are based on challenging patients within their sway envelopes.
Scoring is percentage-based and reflects the patient’s directional accuracy of his or her
movement to the blinking targets. (The more straight-lined the movements, the better it is.)
