Percent Weight Bearing Training
Percent Weight Bearing Training displays the percentage of weight-bearing force on a patient’s
foot, ankle, knee, hip, and body side. Targets are set to encourage patients to place weight in
anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral movements. In this mode, the platform is static. The
patient sees the axes in green when weight bearing is within targets. The score is the
percentage of time the patient was within the target range.
