Force indication scale
Fig. 5: Force indication scale
The force indication scale may be activated either by hand or foot to
exercise either the upper and/ or lower extremities.
Press the
HAND
button (21, fig. 4) to choose the hand force indication
scale or press the
FOOT
button (22, fig. 4) to choose the foot force
indication scale.
When the appropriate mode is chosen, the pads react to the amount of
force or weight applied to each of them. The light scale at the front of
the pads responds dynamically to change in force or weight applied by
the user. This biofeedback clarifies and aids understanding of how
changes in motor actions or body posture affect the force or weight
applied to the pads. The scale can be fitted to react to the amount of
force suitable for each user by adjusting max. load.
The pads sense if the weight is distributed all over the foot (both heel
and forefoot) and will disclose if this is not the case and the user needs
to correct his/her postural control.
The scale or sensitivity of the pad can be adjusted using the”+” (23, fig.
4) and ”-” (24, fig. 4) buttons. Each step equals to an approx. change of
the user weight of 15 kg (from 15 to 150 kg/ 33 to 330 lbs).
