Interactive Metronome

Interactive Metronome is an advanced treatment program designed to promote and enhance brain performance. This computer based program uses headphones and special hand and foot sensors where a rhythmic beat and response is measured to the millisecond.

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 performance and sequencing

Improving rhythm and timing may also significantly improve performance in:

  • Motor function
  • Balance
  • Bilateral coordination
  • Sensory integration
  • Motor planning and sequencing

Structured, Goal Oriented

  • Challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones
  • An audio or audio/visual guidance system provides immediate feedback measure in milliseconds and a score is provided
  • 15 one hour sessions v 2-3 sessions a week
