THE RaNDOM CONTROL TRaINING
This training mode allows the patient to perform neuromuscular control activities in random pat-
terns 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. While in static
mode the patient can work within their sway envelope to move the cursor and attempt to keep it
within the moving target. In dynamic mode the patient must utilize various hip, knee and ankle
strategies to manipulate the moving platform's cursor to within the random moving target.
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.
