Figure 6.11. The Random Control Training Screen.
9. 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). Press the <Clear
Tracing> eraser icon (the right-most icon under Tracing) to remove any tracing that is left
from a previous exercise session. The cursor will still be displayed.
10. 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).
11. Explain the training protocol to the patient (i.e., that the patient should move the cursor
along with the randomly moving red target circle, keeping it inside the circle as much as
possible.). Touch the <Magnifying Glass> icon to enlarge the screen if desired. Press <Start>
to begin the training session. 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: 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 the total time the patient is able to keep the cursor
inside the target circle.
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.
