SUGGESTIONS
Familiarise the user with the GYMTOP®. Satisfy yourself that the user is able to use the
GYMTOP® appropriately. Use on a flat, stable, non-slip surface. Remove any obstacles and
take all appropriate safety measures.
The user should either wear non-slip shoes or be bare-foot.
The more closely together the legs of the user, the more difficult the activities. Some activities
may be completed on one leg. Stand centrally on the Gymtop®. If appropriate to the user, the
user may sit on the Gymtop®, supposing that the Gymtop® is raised as required (used on an
appropriate chair etc).
Allow the user time to practise movements front to back/left to right/circling.

Training
This offers a total of 13 different
exercises. Since training is
structured methodically, start with 1
and move towards 12. The
exercises aim to improve co-
ordination and fitness.
Exercise 13 – diagnosis mode- this
indicates the deflection of the
Gymtop® directly.
Adjust the difficulty as required – 1 is
the easiest whilst 10 is the most
difficult. These difficulty levels
influence the acceleration and speed
of the ball. Try starting at level 5 and
adjust the difficulty as required.
The exercise duration specifies how long an exercise lasts. If you want to end the exercise
press the key qor Esc. If you set a checkmark with statistics, each exercise will be followed by
a short evaluation of the exercise. If the checkmark is not set, the high score list is shown after
the exercise ends.
The button Start exercise starts the indicated exercise with the respective difficulty and exercise
duration.

The section Extras
makes 2 games
available.
EXERCISES
Whichever exercise you selected, each has a goal to fulfil. The red arrow indicates where you
must direct the ball. To the top left of the screen you will see how the remaining exercise
duration. At the top you will also see the name of the selected exercise. At the top right you
will see the current score.
The exercise finishes when the duration has elapsed or by pressing the Esc or q keys. The
music can be switched on/off by pressing the m.
Since the exercises are structured methodically, begin with Exercise 1.
Exercise 1 – Balance. Try to roll the ball into the centre as quickly as possible. Your score
increases as it is in the centre and decreases as it moves away from the centre.

GYMTOP® USB PROFESSIONAL 20143, KH 2.10
Exercise 2 / Exercise 3: Left-Right and/or front-back. Roll the ball to the arrow. As soon as you
have reached it, the arrow changes to the other side. You can use the momentum of the ball
when the ball rebounds on the wall. This requires a good sense of timing.

GYMTOP® USB PROFESSIONAL 20143, KH 2.10
Exercise 4 / Exercise 5: round movements. Try not to touch the edges – roll slowly and plan
ahead. Exercise 5 trains more the left-right balance than Exercise 4.
Exercise 6 – The snake: Either ‘brake’ before a turn or make the ball rebound in the correct
place

Copyright ROMPA® Ltd
GYMTOP® USB PROFESSIONAL 20143, KH 2.10
Exercise 7: very accurate movements are required as the track is very narrow. The further you
come to the centre, the faster you must change direction.
Exercise 8 / Exercise 9: Follow the confined curves, avoiding the edges. The figure of 8
requires leaning forwards and backwards. Exercise 9 requires leaning to the sides.
Exercise 10 – Basketball: roll the ball as often as possible into the box indicated by the arrow.
It’s up to you how you get to the box.

GYMTOP® USB PROFESSIONAL 20143, KH 2.10
Exercise 11 / Exercise 12: these labyrinths are particularly demanding on your co-ordination
skills.
Exercise 13 / Exercise 14: these differ fundamentally from the other exercises. The circle
indicates the current inclination of the SENSAGO™. You can hide the display by pressing the
bkey in exercise 13. The goal of exercise 14 is to follow the arrows as quickly as possible to
the corners and back to the centre. If completed three times, results may be easier to evaluate
than single attempts.
Exercise Evaluation
Take care to choose an appropriate exercise and
difficulty level according to the needs of your
client.
The exercise duration indicates the training time
(HH:MM:SS). The score is exercise specific – it
depends on the exercise and the difficulty. The
evaluation summarises all relevant information in
text form.
The graphic shows how long the ball was in a
certain place. Blue areas indicate a low time
period: red areas indicate a high time period –
ideally the centre of each path would be red.
The diagrams left/right and front/back show the
deflection of SENSAGO™ during the exercise.

Additionally the diagnosis mode displays the
movement in a special line diagram. The zone
deviation, the middle (avg. v) and maximum (max. v)
speed, the standard deviation (std.dev) and the
average (avg) are also included. the speeds are
displayed in degree per second.
Long Term Statistics
This can be sorted by clicking on the exercise number in the field statistic. For example, if you
want to see only the results from exercise 14, set the radio button to the 14 – the Y axis is
scaled according to arrows per second. For exercises 1 to 12, the Y axis is scaled between 1
(very good) to 6 (very bad). In the field between the automatically created summary and the
save button, you can add your own notes. Don’t forget to press the save button! You can find
your notes also on the printout of the single statistic.
The Long-run statistic summarises all evaluations of a patient (user) in a diagram.

GYMTOP® USB PROFESSIONAL 20143, KH 2.10
In addition, it contains the surname, first name and date of birth of the user as well as brief
statistics about the number of exercises, date of the first and last exercises as well as the
average evaluation.
The Single-run statistic contains the surname,
first name and date of birth of the user as well as
the statistic parameters of the actual selected
exercise (date and time, exercise type,
evaluation, duration, score, notes). The graphic
represents the temporal and spatial distribution
of the ball during the exercise. The graphic
shows how long the ball was in a certain place.
Blue areas indicate a low time period: red areas
indicate a high time period – ideally the centre of
each path would be red.
High score list
This shows the top ten scores. There is a
list for each exercise. The delete the list
click on Delete list. Confirm by clicking on
OK. Only the list of high scores is deleted,
not the actual exercise.

appropriate exercise is then marked by a red point. The diagram shows the exercises
chronologically (first at top; last at the bottom).
As more evaluations are added, trends and patterns can be monitored. Evaluations can be
highlighted and deleted by pressing the delete button.
