The IM
program provides a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges
the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a
precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones.
The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive
motor actions. A patented auditory-visual guidance system provides
immediate feedback measured in milliseconds, and a score is
provided.
Over the course of the treatment, patients learn
to:
- Focus and attend for longer periods of time
- Increase physical endurance and stamina
- Filter out internal and external distractions
- Improve ability to monitor mental and physical
actions as they are occurring
- Progressively improve coordinated performance.
Such patients include:
- Sensory Integration Disorder
- ADD/ADHD
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Cerebral Palsy
- Non-verbal Learning Disorder
- Balance Disorders
- Limb Amputation
