(See Figures 6.8 and 6.9.)
The Random Control training mode allows the patient to perform neuromuscular control activi-
ties in random patterns generated by the display and is ideal for motor control and vestibular
training. The size and speed of the target can be modified for progressions ranging from easy to
difficult. Scoring is percentage-based and equals the total time inside the circle/total time in and
outside of the circle. Time counts up or down as set.
random control training access and differences from other modes
Access to Random Control Training Mode is similar to other training modes with the following
differences:
1. Cursor sensitivity can be either more sensitive or Normal. The cursor sensitivity can either be
normal or more sensitive which allows the excursion to be a little easier. This is helpful with patient's
that have difficult time reaching the outermost targets.
2. At the Random Control Training screen, the target circle should be flashing in the center of
the stability grid. Touch <Circle Speed > to toggle though the three target circle speeds until
the target circle flashes at the desired speed.
3. Touch <Skill Level> to enlarge or decrease the target circle size. Three skill levels are available
from which to choose. Touch <Skill Level> until the desired target size is displayed.

If desired, touch <Clear Tracing> to remove any tracing that remains on the screen from a previ-
ous exercise session.
Touch <More Options> to advance to the Random Control Training Options screen if desired.
Here you can set the total time for the exercise, enter initial and ending platform stability set-
tings, turn tracing ON/OFF and scoring tone ON/OFF. Touch <OK> to confirm your selections
and return to the Random Control Training Options screen, or <Cancel> to return to the
Random Control Training Options screen without making changes.
• Use the < > or < M > keys to set the total time in 10-second increments (during the routine
the system will count down from the time setting selected).
