2. At the Main Menu, touch <Training>.
3. Touch <Motor Control>. The Patient Setup Information screen is displayed. If this is a new
patient and the training session is to be saved after its completion, the patient’s name and
height must be entered. If the training session does not need to be saved, 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 Motor Control Training Options screen if desired.
Here, the total time for the exercise can be set, initial and ending platform stability settings
can be entered, hold time (i.e., how long a patient has to keep the cursor over the targets)
can be set, and the Display Tracing, Display Cursor, and Scoring Tone can be turned 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 count up from 00:00 to a maximum of 12:00 minutes.
NOTE: Total time must be set before the beginning and ending platform stability can be set.
6. To set initial platform stability, touch the appropriate key and enter the setting from the
displayed keypad (static, 1 is most stable, 12 is least stable). Touch <OK> to return to the
Motor Control Training Options screen and set the ending platform stability in the same
manner.
7. Touch <OK> to confirm the selections or <Cancel> to return to the Patient Setup Information
screen without making changes. Touch <NEXT> to advance to the Motor Control Training
screen.
8. At the Motor Control Training screen, touch the <Skill Level> icon to tighten or widen the
space between targets. Three skill levels are available from which to choose, with the
easiest target set being the one where the targets are closest together. Touch <Skill Level>
until the desired target configuration is displayed.
9. Touch the <Pattern> icon to toggle between a Full, a Left, or a Right target set orientation.
10. At any time during the training session, the tracing biofeedback can be turned on or off by
touching the <Show Tracing> icon (the left-most icon under Tracing). The green biofeedback
tracing line can be can be erased by pressing the <Clear Tracing> eraser icon (the right-
most icon under Tracing). The cursor will still be displayed.
11. Touch the numbered icon on the right of the screen to select the desired platform stability if
it was not already selected in the Test Options (static, 1 is most stable, 12 is least stable).
12. Explain the training protocol to the patient (i.e., that the patient must move the cursor back
and forth from the center target to the perimeter targets). 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 desired. The elapsed time from the start of the training session is shown at the
top right of the display and a running patient score is provided in the upper right corner.
Note that the platform setting can be changed at any time during the exercise session.
NOTE: If the screen was enlarged by touching the <Magnifying Glass>, it must be returned
to the normal viewing screen format before any changes to the platform setting can be
made.
