Symmetry
The symmetry program provides basic gait information and a
feedback graph. The program will measure the left and right step
length and calculates the symmetry index. The message window will
display the user’s cadence, left and right step length in inches (or
centimeters) and symmetry index.
The dot matrix display will show a graph indicating step symmetry so
the user has a visual feedback to aid in improving their gait. If the
user has a longer step length with their left leg the graph will increase
in size on the left of the dot matrix as shown below.
When the program ends, either by the set time reaching zero or
pressing stop twice at any time during the program, a summary is
shown in the message window. The summary gives the average
cadence, step lengths and average symmetry for the amount of time
the user walked.
• Press the symmetry key then press the enter key.
• The message window will prompt you to enter the time for the
program. You may enter the time using the up and down keys or the
numeric key pad then press the enter key to accept and proceed to
the next screen.
• Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin by pressing
the Start key. All data calculations will use the patient information
from the set up function (set up key at top left of console).
• During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the
message window by pressing the display key.
• When the program ends you may press start to begin the same
program again or stop to exit the program, or you can save the
program you just completed as the facility program by pressing the
facility key and following the instructions in the message window.
