# Can I give physical assistance while my patient plays?

## Sometimes our patients need assistance for positioning or facilitating movement patterns. How do I keep the skeleton stuck on them if I'm in the frame too?

Good news! We have a few options for you - 

There is a setting in the settings menu (that gear icon on bottom right) - scroll down and find "Skeleton Detection". You can play with this setting in your environment and see what works best for your lighting, background, camera angle, and level of assistance required. It may take a little patience - keep trying!

If your patient only needs a little assistance, you might be able to position yourself behind them (hiding most of you) so that the skeleton is not trying to stick to you.

When you have patients who need more support, one option is to put a sheet over your body so that the camera can't see your extremities - then it won't try to approximate where they are and jump to you. We've heard isolation gowns also work pretty well in this kind of situation!
