LIVE WELL:
Interactive Metronome helps stroke patients recover
Watch the Video

Therapists at HealthSouth Deaconess
Rehabilitation Hospital have a new tool to help patients who
have difficulty walking, talking and organizing their thoughts
after suffering a stroke or debilitating injury. The hospital
recently acquired the Interactive Metronome and has been using
it to help patients relearn how to perform tasks many people
take for granted. The
Interactive Metronome is a computerized training program for the
brain. The device emits a rhythmic reference tone that can be
adjusted to go faster or slower. Patients listen to the tones
and synchronize clapping, tapping or other hand and feet
exercises to the beat. Guide tones that have a different sound
may be added to the program so patients receive immediate
feedback letting them know whether to speed up or slow down.
Physical therapist Sara Snelling
said the Interactive Metronome creates positive changes in the
brain by improving its efficiency so multiple areas of the brain
regain the ability to work together. The therapy has been used
for children and adult patients.
"With the Interactive Metronome
you've got that patient engaged in very specific physical and
cognitive tasks, Snelling said. "They're repeatedly doing
similar tasks over and over to change the brain into recognizing
what is normal again.
"The movements they are doing are
rhythmic and synchronized, which is something you and I may take
for granted in our everyday living and moving around. And they
get immediate feedback with the machine so they will know in
milliseconds whether they are on target."

on the latest Live Well video to watch a stroke patient use the
training program during a physical therapy session at
HealthSouth.
