Edit the exercise name

1. Edit the name of the exercise to something you and your patient will more easily remember by selecting the pencil icon located next to the exercise name. 
2. You'll be presented with other common names for this exercise. Select one of these to change how the exercise appears on your patient's program.
3. Create your own custom name by selecting Add a Custom Name. You can enter in whatever name you prefer for this exercise here.

Adjust exercise parameters

1. To quickly adjust parameters, you can directly edit within the program panel.
   
2. Alternatively, select the name of an exercise to open the details panel.

Bilateral or mirror an exercise

2. Choose Add mirrored side. Alternatively, you can select the mirror icon within the details panel.
   
   A duplicate exercise is added for the opposite side (for example, left/right limb). You can also set this from the details panel after selecting the exercise name.
    
3. To add a bilateral exercise, select Add bilateral exercise to program.
   

Change default parameters

1. When adjusting parameters in the details panel, select Set as default.

   Defaults can be changed at any time by repeating this step.
    

Change program or item language

Change the language for the entire program

1. In the Current Program panel, locate the Language dropdown at the top.

Change the language for a single item

2. Use the Language dropdown to choose another available language.
    
3. Review the translated text or media preview.
    
4. Select Save to apply the language change.

Modify item descriptions

1. Edit the Description field as needed.
   
2. To make this new description the default description, select Set as default description. To restore to the earlier description, select the restore icon.
   
3. When finished editing the item, select Save & Add to Program.

Add program or item notes

Add program notes

1. Scroll to the bottom of the Current Program panel.
    
2. Enter instructions or reminders in the Program Notes field.
   
   Notes are visible to the patient along with their program.

Add item notes

Notes and best practices

• Customization is optional but strongly recommended to ensure exercises match the patient’s goals and abilities.
   
• Keep program notes concise and patient-friendly, but be sure to avoid any PHI.
