Gait Tracker
The Gait Tracker app allows data from
the E-Pacer scale to be displayed on
mobile phones and tablets via a BlueTooth
connection. The app has two primary
functions.
1. It displays the weight measured by
the scale, averaged over a 10 second
interval for smoothness.
2. It calculates the average weight on the
E-Pacer over the course of a gait training
session. This value can be used to record
and track a client’s weight bearing
capability over time (see fi gure 15a).
To use the Gait Tracker app:
(see fi gures 15b and 15c)
1. Install the app on your phone or tablet
(currently available only for iOS devices).
2. Activate Bluetooth on the scale by
pressing the “BT” button (A).
3. Open the Gait Tracker app on your
mobile device. Your device will pair with
the scale when you open the app.
4. Press “start” on the app when you are
ready to begin the gait training session.
5. Use the “pause” and “resume”
commands as needed until the session
is over.
6. Before pressing the “reset” button
at the end of the session, be sure to
make an external record of the session
average if needed for tracking purposes.
Pressing “reset” will clear all stored data
from the app.
To provide a client with access to the scale
data, a phone may also be mounted on the
client handlebar using a phone mount for a
bicycle handlebar (see fi gure 15d).
