Figure 9.6.
During an initial assessment, a Music Therapist assesses the patient's gait with either an over-
ground session (10 meter walk test) or if they have the Biodex Gait Trainer, with a standard Gait
Trainer mode session—no music.
The Music Therapist, using the toggle button on the left side of the screen, converts the
patient's walking pace from the walk test speed measurement (usually MPH) to steps per
minute. This is how the therapist/clinician will "fit the music" to a prescribed song tempo (beats
per minute or BPM) from the music library to optimize the patient's gait pattern.
The therapist touches the <Music> button located below the <Footfalls> and <Histograms>
buttons. On the following screen, the Music Library is accessed by touching <Select Song>.
