are subject to errors due to soft tissue artifact. Determination of the
pelvic orientation using ViPerform has not been validated for use on
patients with high Body Mass Index (BMI) or adiposity.
• Only use the unit for purposes which it is intended.
• Always ask the subject about skin allergies they may have prior
to ViPerform use. Gauge the severity of the allergy and assess
whether a reduced session on ViPerform, and / or using a protective
film on the skin prior to application, would be safer for the subject,
or whether they should not use ViPerform at all if the allergy is of
a serious nature.
• In order to reduce the risk of skin irritation, it is advised not to wear
the sensors for any more than 24 hours in any 72 hour period.
• There is the potential for subject injury or re-injury if there is a
function failure and the device fails to alert the subject of risk related
movements. To prevent this, the device has been programmed to
alert the subject if a signal loss or other malfunction occurs. Ensure
the subject is informed of these features and are aware they will
not be receiving Biofeedback if one of these warnings is shown.
• Use only with supplied power supply.
• Recording and Feedback Device (RFD) Battery: As with all
batteries, there is a risk of battery leakage or explosion; however
the manufacturer of the RFD battery has conducted safety tests,
heating the batteries to 130°C for ten minutes with no rupture, no
fire, bursting or explosion. In addition the battery is housed in the
sealed, splash resistant RFD unit.

1. Use electric trimmer to clip any hair
approximately twice the size of the MDM from
the mid-shin area.
2. Wipe the shin area with an alcohol swab.
3. Place the zero line of the ruler on the
inferior border of the medial malleolus and
mark the shin bone at the appropriate height
demarcation found on the ruler.
4. Mark a horizontal line across the flat plane
of the tibia.
5. Clip the MDMs into the DAPs.
6. Place the sensor on the tibia by following
these steps:
• Line marked on the shin bisects the two
pegs on the DAP.
• The pegs of each DAP must face the
runner’s left, as in photos.
7. IMPORTANT:
• Ensure the DAP (with sensor) is placed
vertical on the shin and is adhered to the
tibia bone and not over the calf.
• Ensure that both left and right DAPs are
placed at equal heights on the shin.
• The sensors should be placed on the flat
plane of the shin.

draw a horizontal line through the centers of
the PSIS circles.
4. Use the electric trimmer to clip the subject’s
back hair where the sensors will be placed (if
required).
5. For subjects with sensitive skin, use skin
protective spray or wipe on the MDM sensor
placement area. Do not use protective spray
under MDE sensors (EMG) because it reduces
the electrical signal. Wipes can be used with
MDE sensors.
6. Clip the sensors into the sensor holders and
place the pelvic (lower) sensor on the body
directly underneath the line. Do not push down
firmly on the sensors at this stage.

5. Session Types
This section describes how to use the Live Training, Live Assessment,
Monitoring and Biofeedback sessions.
5.1 Live Assessment
Live assessment is a structured testing environment
where the subject is taken through a number of
customizable tests.
Results can be viewed in 3 ways:
• Live.
• On screen either between tests or after testing.
• Printable PDF Report.
5.1.1 Starting a Live Assessment session
1. Navigate to the Subject Home screen.
2. Select a module.
3. Select “Live Assessment”.

When a repeat is running this button finishes the repeat.
If you are between repeats, it starts the next repeat. This
button is only shown in “Manual” repeat test mode.
5.1.5 Completing a Live Assessment
At the conclusion of an assessment a window will appear, alerting you
that the assessment has been completed. You do not need to complete
all assessments to finish a test however. Test results are always saved
so you can return to the Subject Home screen at any time. However, a
report can only be generated once you have completed at least one test.
Once you’ve completed at least one test result the report button will be
visible on the Live Assessment screen and in the subject’s history. If you
do not complete all the reps within a test, you must push the stop button
to save the data.
5.1.6 Changing repeats and reordering tests.

5.3 Monitoring
In a Monitoring session the data captured by the RFD is saved directly to the RFD. This means the RFD can be disconnected from the
computer and measure movement remotely. Note that the RFD must be within 30 feet of the subject to ensure constant data collection.
At the end of the Monitoring session the RFD must be connected to a computer and offloaded before data can be viewed, analyzed or
a report generated.
NOTE: If a Monitoring session is stopped before the allotted time period, you will need to offload the data immediately.
5.3.1 Starting a Monitoring session
1. Navigate to the Subject Home screen.
2. Click on the Running module.
3. Select “Monitoring”.
4. Select sensor placement and configure.
5. Select a session length using the slider.
6. Proceed through to the “Ready to Go” screen then press next.
5.3.2 Now recording
The RFD is now recording to its internal memory. You can check this by
looking at the RFD button in the software. It should have the recording
symbol on it.
The buttons on the Subject Home screen have now changed to show
your options as you are conducting a Monitoring Session. You can run
any Live or Games type sessions from within a Monitoring Session. This
can be useful as a way to visually check if you are receiving the data you
expect. You’ll also see a new Monitoring Session in the subject’s history
with no time. The time will be added when you offload the data.
At this point you can unplug the RFD and use it and the sensors away
from the computer.
5.3.3 Ending a Monitoring session
To end the Monitoring Session you have to offload the data. There are
several ways to do this:
• Go to subject’s history screen and click on offload icon.
• Try to start a Session with another Subject and the software will
ask you to offload.
• Click on RFD status icon and click on offload.
Offloading may take a few minutes. In general, the longer the session
the longer it will take to offload.
