Table 1 Therapist-determined settings available for Swing Assist Mode with descriptors
Swing assist mode | Description |
|---|---|
Max | Assistance is at 100% for step trajectory. Less susceptible to patient interaction |
Adapt | The device can provide up to 100% assistance for step trajectory, but only provides this assistance if needed. Constantly adjusts to patient power needs |
Fixed | The ceiling amount of assistance is set to a fixed number (100–0), as determined by the clinician. The patient may use up to, or less than, the programmed value to complete swing along the trajectory |
Free | The limb is not being controlled in a trajectory pattern. Allows the patient more freedom to control the step, but the device can provide powered assistance or resistance through the step, as programmed by the therapist |
