PERCENT WEIGHT-BEaRING TRaINING

(See Figures 7.7 and 7.8.)
Percent Weight-Bearing Training provides real-time feedback of the percentage of weight-bear-
ing on the patient's foot, ankle, knee, hip, body side, etc. In this mode targets can be set that
encourage patients to focus on % weight-bearing goals in anterior, posterior, medial and lateral
movements. Therapists and patients should find % weight-bearing training to be an effective
mode for communicating what, where and how a patient's body weight is located or feels.

bearing is within target settings.
If desired, shift the red Percent Weight Bearing target zone by touching and dragging the
appropriate red line to the desired Percent Weight Bearing target.
