Neurological and Motor Rehabilitation
Interactive Metronome Rehabilitation Technologies Division (RTD). Interactive Metronome’s proven applications in the fields of brain-based learning and human performance enhancement has brought much attention for its effectiveness with Neurological and Motor Rehabilitation.
IM Neurological and Motor Rehabilitation is an assessment and treatment program developed to enhance brain performance and recovery. Supported by the most current, evidence-based neuroscientific principles, IM Neurological and Motor Rehabilitation focuses on the brain’s inherent ability to repair itself through a process referred to as neuroplasticity. This is accomplished by using innovative neurosensory and neuromotor exercises.
IM Neurological and Motor Rehabilitation works by addressing brain timing, rhythmicity, and synchronicity thereby increasing the speed and coordination of informational signals within the brain. It is a method of enabling brain-injured or neurologically challenged individuals to directly improve the processing abilities that affect attention, motor planning, and sequencing. This in turn, strengthens many fundamental learning capacities and higher level cognitive skills such as planning, organizing, and language.
While early research focused on improvements in pediatric patients diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, SI, and Autism Spectrum disorders, IM is also being used successfully to treat adult patients with various impairments of planning, sequencing, speech, cognition, balance, endurance, and motor coordination.
Today IM Neuromotor Rehabilitation has been shown to improve:
- Balance and Gait
- Motor Control
- Motor and Cognitive Endurance
- Cognitive Functioning
- Communication
- Independence with ADLs
The RTD recognizes that in order to achieve optimal outcome and maximum recovery, IM rehabilitation technology should be utilized along with other modalities as an integral part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program like those for:
- Developmental disorders
- Stroke
- Brain injury
- Amputation
- Neurological disorders
- Balance and vestibular disorders
