Rotator Programs
The Rotator Program Group consists of four therapy programs: Single Color, Multi Color, Sequence, and
Gap Sequence. These programs are designed to challenge the client's ability to visually follow moving
objects and plan and coordinate motor movements.
The Rotator Program Category is a category within Visual Scanning, Static Balance and Optokinetic Static
Therapy Categories. Single Color Rotator Program is also available in Dynamic Balance and Optokinetic
Dynamic Program Category.
For Programs in the Static Balance and Optokinetic Static Therapy Categories, client is instructed to keep
Reticle within the Balance Point and touch the display screen to eliminate the stimuli. For Programs in the
Dynamic Balance and Optokinetic Dynamic Therapy Categories, no touchscreen input is required. Client
is instructed to move body or platform to align the reticle on screen with the stimuli in order to eliminate it.
Single Color
A rotating wheel appears on the display screen with multiple target stimuli in the same color. clients are
instructed to visually track the stimuli and accurately eliminate them one by one.
Multi-Color
A rotating wheel appears on the display screen. Multiple target stimuli appear on the rotator. clients are
instructed to visually track the stimuli and accurately eliminate them in the correct color sequence. The
target stimuli will need to be eliminated either by classification (all red stimulus, then all white, then all
blue) or in a repeated sequence (red, white, blue, red, white, blue). The target stimulus will remain visible
on the rotator until the client has identified the correct target stimulus using the classification or sequence
mode. The mode is controlled by the Response Mode Parameter.
Sequence
A rotating wheel appears on the display screen. Multiple target stimuli appear on the rotator. clients
are instructed to visually track the stimuli and accurately eliminate them in the correct sequence. In the
Sequence Program, the target stimuli can appear as letters (upper and/or lower case), numbers, or a
combination of letters/numbers. The client will need to eliminate the target stimuli in the sequence of the
numbers and/or letters. For example, A through Z or 1 through 10.
Gap Sequence
A rotating wheel appears on the display screen. Multiple target stimuli appear on the rotator. clients are
instructed to visually track the stimuli and accurately eliminate them in the correct sequence by identifying
gaps in the sequence. Target stimuli can appear as letters (upper and/or lower case), numbers, or a
combination of letters/numbers. In this program the letters and/or numbers will not always begin with A or 1.
