Balance System SD (with v4.X software) 39
is shown at the top right of the display and a running patient score is provided in the upper
right corner.
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.
12. Scoring is percentage-based and equals net good hits divided by the total target hits. If a
red boundary line is crossed, that counts against the good hit total. All outside boundary
hits are subtracted from the total amount of target hits.
This value equals the net good hits. In the case of the easiest maze: if all the blue ball
targets are cleared, but the maze wall is hit 6 times, the resulting score will be 22/26, or
85%.
13. To stop the training session at any time, press <Stop> on the display. The system will stop
gathering data and the platform will return to the locked position.
14. When the training screen has been reviewed, touch <Print Results> to print the results of the
session, or <Save Results> to save the training session. If a patient identifier was not
entered at the start of the session (i.e., a name or an ID number), it must be entered now in
order to save the results of the session.
15. After printing or reviewing the screen, press <Start> to immediately begin another training
session using the same parameters, or press <Back> to return to the Patient Setup screen.
Random Control Training
This training mode allows the patient to perform neuromuscular control activities in response
to random patterns generated by the display. The size and speed of the target can be modified
for progressions ranging from easy to difficult. While in static mode the patient can work within
their sway envelope to move the cursor and attempt to keep it within the moving target. In
dynamic mode the patient must utilize various hip, knee, and ankle strategies to keep the
cursor within the random moving target.
To Access the Random Control Training Mode:
1. Position the support handles and the display height and tilt for patient comfort.
2. At the Main Menu, touch <Training>.
3. Touch <Random 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 Random 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, and the Display Tracing, Display Cursor, and Scoring Tone can be turned on
or off.
