ON-DEMAND TRAINING

TRAZER XP utilizes an extremely powerful camera - and as with many medical devices - there are factors to consider to create an optimal environment for the best User experience and most accurate results.

Tips to create an optimal experience:

Suggest your Users come to their appointment/session in

• Fitted clothing 
• Solid colors - or free of significant patterns

A critical aspect of your users' experience is understanding the value of their TRAZER sessions.

Throughout this section, we're going to use examples of a client/patient named Ray who has never used the system. Let's introduce him to TRAZER: 

Welcome back, Ray. Today, we're going to work on your mobility with the TRAZER system. TRAZER has a camera that sees a lot more than I can, 32 points on your body to be exact... and will report back to us how well you move in this space. Now the fun part is, you get to play an interactive game - and I get insight into your movement to identify what areas we should focus on. The first thing we're going to do is create your profile so we can track, and actually visualize, your progress over time.

All of your Users need their own unique TRAZER profile to record all of their reports and compare their data over time. Before beginning a session with a User, click Login on the top-right of the screen, and use the search bar to find and select the User.

When creating a User, you will need to fill out the required information on the User Profile. From there, you can use the arrows to enter Sport and Injury information, if applicable, or click Create User to skip those sections. You can always update this information later from the Unit or from your Portal.

Here's a brief video demonstrating creating a User Profile on TRAZER XP.

🚨 The User creation process has been simplified to increase efficiency by removing the email address requirement and allowing the Profile to be created as soon as all required fields are met.

User Profile information is factored in to some reporting metrics and also changes the appearance of the User's avatar.

A Profile Access PIN is an (optional) additional level of security for a User. If a 4-digit PIN is entered during creation, the PIN will be required to access the Profile. 

🚨 A Medical Record Number can be logged optionally on the Profile to enable searching by this number in the Portal and to display the number on Reports.

Sport and Injury information are optional. This data can be used while running analytics in the Portal.  

Users can also be created via a QR code. You - or your User - can scan this code from the camera of a mobile device. You will be taken to a web page where you enter a unique code (shown on-screen) and enter User Profile information. Upon completion, the User record will exist in the system and be immediately available to select from the Select User menu on the Unit. 

You can also import Users in bulk to your TRAZER Portal. 

Once your User is created, you can search for their profile and select them from the list to log them in.

🚨 The User selection menu utilizes a search feature (instead of displaying all available Users) for added privacy and data security.

It's important to remember to log Users out when they are done using TRAZER to prevent accidental use of an incorrect User Profile. Click the username in the top-right corner, and click Logout. 

Back to our Ray example...

Let's get started:

Ray, we're going to start with a quick practice session so you can learn how TRAZER works. Once you're in the Activity, you'll see yourself on screen, in the simulation, as an avatar.

As soon as you see a target pop up to the left or right of your avatar, I want you to move your body in that direction to guide your avatar to it on the screen. 

Before I click Start, stand here right in the middle of our TRAZER area and face the TV. I'm going to step aside while the camera focuses on you. 

You do not need to complete this Activity, the purpose is to ensure your User understands how to move themselves following on-screen cues. Once they are comfortable with the simulation experience, you can move on to an Activity of your choice. 

We recommend the first Activity you do with every new User is an Assessment. The Assessments category of Activities are standardized and best for establishing the initial baseline of a User's performance. As the User performs this activity over time, you can benchmark their progress and compare sessions to monitor progression/degradation over time and chart changes.

The following video demonstrates how to navigate the system to select and start an Activity:

🚨 The Filter function now filters the entire Activity Library and filters by various Activity Types.

We're going to establish a baseline for Ray with one of our most popular Assessments: the Lateral Agility Screen-90.  The LAS-90 is a 90-second test of a User's ability to see random stimuli and react by moving to the left or right. This test is a great starter Activity for a new User to build the User's confidence in using TRAZER. It will give us insight into both Ray's reaction time - how long it takes him to process information and move as directed - as well as to any movement asymmetries - or difference between movement to the left and movement to the right. 

Ray, now that you have been oriented to TRAZER, I want to establish a baseline of your movement. We're going to look at how you move left and right, from side to side.

Move as effectively as possible, and to the best of your ability. 

🚨 When a User moves too far out of the perimeter of the field-of-play, the avatar will disappear, instead of pausing in a pose.

Once an Activity is complete, a report will load on-screen. You will notice a difference between reports from Activity to Activity as the system will show a report relevant to the Activity and metrics.

The following video explores the structure of reports:

🚨 New functions are available such as Test Notes, Printing, and comparing up to 6 Tests.

You will always be taken to an overview report, showing summarized information from the Activity. 

Back to our Ray example...

Let's look at Ray's Report:

The overview report shows both Overall details and Step details as a high-level overview for the test and the step selected.

The Overall metrics include data from the start of the activity - including calibration - to the end of all of the steps in the activity. This specific activity is only 1 step. For multi-step activities, you can click the Choose Step drop-down to view metrics for each step. 

Different types of activities will show different report sections. This activity is a Dynamic Movement activity so you will see a Symmetry Report. (We will learn about the different types of reports and dive in to metrics in TRAZER XP 201.)

The Symmetry report has a secondary menu to segment each metric: Reaction Time, Speed, Acceleration, and Deceleration. 

On each tab, you will see an average of the reported metric listed by direction of movement. These metrics are also shown to the right plotted on a spider graph.

We can see Ray's reaction times for targets to the left and right. The average time from the moment the target appeared until he initiated movement in that direction, was .26 seconds for targets to the left and .34 for targets to the right. 

TRAZER identifies asymmetry between directions in a color code. The difference is displayed as a percentage and to which side.

• Under 10% = green, symmetrical
• Between 10-20% = yellow, asymmetry detected
• Above 20% = red, significant asymmetry detected

So the difference in Ray's reaction times to the left and right was in the red zone. He reacted 22.59% faster to the left.

You will want to check for asymmetry in all 4 tabs.

In the Timeline Report, we can see these metrics - as well as heart rate - charted at 10-second intervals through the course of the activity. 

The History report shows these metrics charted over time so we can visualize progression every time Ray does this activity.

Whether healthy or injured, a Baseline provides highly valuable information for both you (the Provider) and your Users. Once a Baseline is established, you can create customized goals with comprehensive data that allows you to track progress, and most importantly, gives you definitive charting in case of injury or post injury - making the intangible, tangible through data.

To easily remember which Activity you used as a Baseline, you can use the Favorites function to save Activities specifically for the logged in User. 

🚨 Click the heart icon to save an Activity as a Favorite.

When the User is logged in, favorited Activities will be pinned to the top of the Activity Library so you can easily find your User's baseline Activity or other favorite Activities.

Every repetition of an Activity serves as a Benchmark, tracking progression or degradation over time. These benchmarks give you the unique ability to see the unseen, measure progress, and adjust your care plan or training regimen accordingly.

Our co-founder, Barry French, discusses Baselines + Benchmarks:

TRAZER Workouts, Rehabilitation Protocols, Assessments, and Drills all can be used for rehab and/or training. 

We will deep-dive into the different types of Activities in TRAZER XP 201.
