Figure 6.5 The Weight Shift Training screen.
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. During
this training routine the target zone, defined by two parallel lines, can be rotated to any of three
positions while the amount of excursion 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 tar-
get hits. There were 4 times when the cursor went outside the boundary:
10-4 = 6 good hits. Score = 6/10 or 60%.
NOTE: For weight shift training the time value always counts up.
weight Shift training access and differences from other training modes
Access to Weight Shift Training Mode is similar to other training modes with the following
differences:
1. At the Weight Shift Training screen, touch <Rotate Target > to toggle through the three
patient target positions until the desired rotation is displayed on the grid.
2. Touch <Skill Level> to enlarge or decrease the target box size. Three skill levels are available
from which to choose. Touch <Skill Level> until the desired target configuration is displayed.
If desired, touch <Clear Tracing> to remove any tracing that remains on the screen from a
previous exercise session.
