What is Interactive Metronome?
Interactive Metronome is a research supported, brain based rehabilitation and training program that is used by over 2500 Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists all over the United States and abroad. It is designed to improve the processing abilities that affect attention, motor planning and sequencing. This is accomplished by using innovative neurosensory and neuromotor exercises developed to improve the brain’s ability to repair or remodel itself through a process called neuroplasticity. Participants are instructed to synchronize various hand and foot exercises to a reference tone heard through headphones. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor action such as hand clapping while wearing an IM glove with palm trigger or tapping his/her toes on a floor sensor mat. A patented audio or audio and visual guidance system provides immediate feedback. The difference between the patient’s performance and the computer generated beat is measured in millisecond
