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 Percent weight-bearing goals in anterior, posterior, medial and
lateral movements. Therapists and patients should find Percent weight-bearing training to be an
effective mode for communicating what, where and how a patient's body weight is located or
feels. Movement feedback can be limited to Medial Lateral or Anterior Posterior or combined.
NOTE: Scoring is this mode is the percent time spent within the target range. The axis will show green
when weight bearing is within target settings.
