The NeuroGym® Trainer is a mobile,
multi-faceted biofeedback device designed to help clients regain motor control
and coordination.
The NeuroGym® Trainer uses input from various sensors to
control the action of computer games, for instance, to move a paddle to
intercept a ball or to steer a car along a track. Targeted muscle activity and
movements can be encouraged or discouraged by simple adjustments to software
parameters. Successfully playing the game, then, depends upon meeting the
minimum therapist-determined muscle activation or movement parameters. This
mechanism provides real-time, speed sensitive feedback, allowing highly
intensive goal-oriented and motivational rehabilitation.
Unlike traditional biofeedback
devices, the NeuroGym® Trainer provides exceptional versatility through the use
of various input sensors that monitor muscle activity (EMG), weight shift or
pressure changes, tilt and proximity to a target. A therapist may choose to use
a sensor individually or in combination with others. In addition, therapists can
choose from a number of programs to design treatment plans ranging from simple
one-channel programs to multi-channel training set-ups. This versatility allows
therapists to target individual muscles for relaxation or activation or to train
more complex multi-joint movements.
