Frequently Asked Questions

Can you place our own clinic logo on the exercise sheets?
You can place your own logo on the exercise sheets (refer to the help feature for instructions).

How many of our own exercises can we insert into the program?
Virtually an unlimited number of exercises can be added to PC-Kits. Technically though your hard drive space with be the limiting factor and perhaps to some extent your RAM (you will probably tire from adding exercises before this becomes an issue). The size and number of pictures will somewhat effect the speed they are rendered on the screen. Although you could add an unlimited number of exercises the program the user added menu will get quite long with a very large number of exercises. With hundreds of exercises added, you would have to scroll for a long time to find the customized exercise you where looking for. Future versions of PC-Kits may add submenus to the user added exercise pull down menu to accommodate easier access to larger libraries of user added exercises. The user added menu is currently designed to supplement the exercise collections rather than to replace entire libraries.
