Balance System SD (with v4.X software) 45
Performing an m-CTSIB Test
Prior to conducting an m-CTSIB test, check to ensure that the most desirable normative data set
currently associated with the test is in place. For instance, if testing a high school athlete, the
‘M & F (male and female), Age 13-18, 20 sec trial’ normative data may be wanted. For
instructions on configuring normative data, see the System Utilities section of this document. In
summary, the steps are, starting at the main screen; select the following options from the
screens as they are displayed:
Utilities > Configuration > Balance System SD Configuration > Sensory Integration Defaults> m-
CSTIB Defaults.
At the ‘m-CTSIB Defaults’ screen, use the drop-down menu to select the desired normative data
set, or begin populating the fields with the facility’s normative data. If adding the facility’s own
data, be sure to save the normative data set with a name that will be easy for others to
recognize.
1. Position the support handles and the display height and tilt for patient comfort.
2. At the Main Menu, touch <Testing>, and <Sensory Integration>.
3. Touch <m-CTSIB>. 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 m-CTSIB Testing Options screen if desired.
● Here the test trial time can be set, the sensory conditions to be tested can be selected,
the number of trials can be entered, and the rest countdown time (i.e., the time between
trials) can be entered.
● Use the <▲> or <▼> keys to set the total Test Trial Time in five-second increments
down to a minimum of ten seconds (during the test the system will count down from the
time setting selected).
● To select the sensory conditions to be included in the test, touch the checkboxes next
to the desired conditions. The four conditions in an m-CTSIB will be selected by default.
● To set the Number of Trials or Rest Countdown, touch the appropriate key and enter the
setting from the keypad displayed.
● To have either the cursor or tracing biofeedback displayed during the test, touch the
checkboxes next to the options.
● To have the patient record a foot position for the test, touch the checkbox next to
Record Foot Position.
