Set your (default) exercise parameters
Parameters of Physitrack exercises are by default set to the lowest possible values (unless you open the exercise as part of a pre-saved exercise programme). Every healthcare practitioner is different and will have other preferences in terms of default parameters. This page tells you how to set these (default) parameters. As each patient is also a unique individual, you can easily deviate from them again when assigning an exercise programme.
Within Physitrack, you can set exercise parameters on two "levels":
- In the exercise library - these parameters will apply every time you assign this exercise to a patient.
- In the programme editor - these parameters will apply only to this specific exercise programme.
Invisible parameters?
Sometimes you don't need all the available parameters for an exercise. Currently, there is a limited possibility to make certain parameters invisible to patients by setting or leaving them at the lowest possible value.
Note: This applies only to the parameters "Weight" and "Hold".
