Profile: An individual athlete or patient completing a Sway measurement. Each profile has a unique ID number. A profile can be part of multiple groups. A profile can be active or inactive.An individual athlete or patient completing a Sway measurement. Each profile has a unique ID number. A profile can be part of multiple groups. A profile can be active or inactive.

Group: A way to organize profiles, typically used to group different teams or groups of patients

Test Protocol: A combination of modules that each profile completes. The protocol defines the included modules and their sequence. Protocols can be standard or custom-created by Admins/Users.

     Example - Sports+ Protocol is a combination of the following modules: Symptom inventory, mBESS , Inspection time, Reaction time, Impulse control, Memory

Test Type : There are two types of each Sway module: Screening and Assessment

     Screening - shorter version, only 1 trial of each test protocol

     Assessment - longer version, athlete/patient completes 3 trials of each test type and the app takes the average to create a composite score

Baseline Test: The initial measurement taken to establish a reference point of healthy/normal scores. Subsequent scores are compared to the baseline to assess changes. When creating a code you will have the option to decide if those scores will be computed into the profile’s baseline – It is just a checkbox 

Code: A unique 5-digit letter/number combination that will allow a profile access to a specific test configuration (see below)  

     Group code - Code for specific group (can be used by multiple people at the same time).

     Profile code - Code only used for a specific athlete or patient 

Event: An injury or other event that requires an assessment or screening afterwardsAn injury or other event that requires testing. An Event is designated by an Admin/User and initiates an Event period.

Event period: A series of test protocols that are within a certain time period designated by providerThe time between the occurrence of an Event and the return to play/return to work indication. All Sway tests completed during this period are considered Event tests. The Event Period is designated by an Admin/User and can be modified as needed.

Organization: Each school or clinic will be considered an organization and have their own dashboard. If you work at more than one school, you will have access to multiple organizations 

Access Type: See the capability breakdown for each Sway Access Type here.
