# Weight shift mode in action

## Patient settings include an option for weight shift

If your patient is not safe to side step, or they're in a walker, stander, or even sitting to play, they can still control the avatar!

From the game selection screen, just go into the settings menu (the gear icon on bottom right of screen), choose the player's name on the left, and choose weight shift. In this menu, you will see animated icon people moving the way your patient would need to move on each of the settings to control the avatar's movement on screen. Choose the proper setting, and close settings with the X in upper right. 

From the "Manage Patients" option, choose Weight Shift, set the proper option, and be sure to "UPDATE" before exiting.

When you choose a game, you should see "weight shift mode: ON" on screen bottom right. 

\*IF your patient is able to side step, you want to keep weight shift OFF\*
