percent weight bearing training access and differences from other modes
Access to Percent Weight-Bearing Training Mode is similar to other modes with the following
differences:
1. This is the one training mode where positioning the patient is required. Position the patient's
feet as noted. If patient cannot be positioned as suggested, center patient and enter new foot
position. The foot angle is determined by the line that is parallel with the inside of the foot.
Press <Start> on the display to activate the cursor and have the patient move the cursor to the
center point on the grid. Touch <Record> to bring up the Position Patient Entry screen. Using
the keypads, enter the patient's left foot, left heel, right foot and right heel positions using the
midline of the foot and the platform grid as reference points. Touch <Next> to advance to the
Percent Weight Bearing Training screen.
The Percent Weight Bearing Training screen displays a Medial Lateral/Anterior Posterior grid. If
you would prefer a Medial Lateral only grid, touch <More Options>. The More Options screen
also allows the clinician to set an end by time value. Touch <OK> after making changes to
return to the Percent Weight Bearing Training screen.
If desired, shift the red Percent Weight Bearing target zone by touching and dragging the appro-
priate red line to the desired Percent Weight Bearing target.
