WEIGHT SHIFT TRaINING

(See Figure 7.4)
This training mode allows for exercise in the most basic of activities weight shifting. The patient
has the ability to shift weight in medial/lateral, anterior/posterior and diagonal planes. This can
be done with both static and dynamic settings. During this training routine the target zone,
defined by two parallel lines, can be rotated to any of three positions while the amount of excur-
sion within the target area can be modified to allow for the most limited to most difficult degree
of weight shifting. To reposition the target zone hit lines at any time, simply touch the desired
line and re-touch the screen where you want the line to be relocated.
Scoring is percentage-based and equals net good hits/total target hits. If you cross the boundary,
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.
For example: Enter 10 as the # of target hits. There were 4 times the cursor went outside the
boundary. 10-4 = 6 good hits. Score = 6/10 or 60%.
For weight shift training the time value always counts up.
NOte: A wall hit is counted as one hit within the path to the target hit.
