Step 5: Stepping On

Before you attempt to step on for the first time:
• Have your spotter stand in front of the PT, face you, and hold the
Handlebar securely with both hands. Your spotter should be pre-
pared to firmly hold the PT to keep it from moving.
• Remember, the PT will move forward, backward or turn if you move
the Handlebar. Avoid pushing, pulling, or leaning the Handlebar as
you step on.
• Confirm the center Balance Indicator light is green.
To step onto the PT:
1. Hold the Handlebar with both hands.
2. Place just one foot on the Mat.
3. Slowly transfer your weight to your foot on the Mat. As you step up,
look forward and not down.
4. Slowly, while not moving the Handlebar, raise your back foot off the
ground and place it on the Mat. Stay calm and relaxed. Look forward.
NOTE:
Some people rock back and forth involuntarily when they step on.
5. If you feel unstable, step off the PT, one foot at a time, and pause
before stepping back on. The spotter should continue holding firmly
the entire time, and be prepared to keep the PT from moving as you
step on or off.
