Our Unique Evaluation and Rehab Tools
Video Nystagmography (VNG)Video Nystagmography (VNG) is our tool of choice to identify abnormalities within the VESTIBULAR and OCULARMOTOR systems. With this specialty piece of equipment we can objectively document abnormal eye movements caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI), Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Vestibular Neuronitis, Internuclea Opthalmoplegia, and many other peripheral vestibular and central neurological pathologies.
VNG allows our office to evaluate your brain and nervous system through the oculomotor system by utilizing tests and specific eye movements such as: Nystagmus, positional and Dix-Hallpike, Caloric tests, Saccade, Sinusoidal Pursuit, and Optokinetic tests. A breakdown or weakness in any or all of these tests can key the doctors at our office in to the specific location of brain weakness or lesion and direct them to a specific rehabilitation program just for you. |
Dynavision D2 ®Discover Dynavision, the light-training reaction device, developed to train sensory motor integration through the visual system. The increased ability to receive visual stimuli, mentally process this information, then react to it with a motor response, has vast implications for human performance.
Designed for high performance athletics training, it was soon discovered as an incredible evaluation tool for head-injuries, concussions and visual field-deficits. This tool not only is limited to athletes and head injuries, but provides an effective therapy for those struggling with dementia/Alzheimer's, Stroke rehab, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson's, and many other neurodegenerative health conditions. |
Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CAPS®)Posturography in general is a non-invasive specialized clinical assessment technique used to quantify how well a person is able to control posture and balance. The control of posture and balance, i.e. postural control, necessitates a complex interaction of sensory, motor and central nervous system processes.
This tool in our office is used not only in pathological (abnormal) conditions (particularly in the diagnosis of balance disorders, brain injuries and in physical therapy and postural re-education); it is also used in normal healthy conditions such as in physical education and sports training. |
Interactive Metronome ®This is a cutting-edge neurological assessment and treatment tool that improves your underlying motor planning and sequencing ability. Clinical studies have shown that improving these fundamental areas lead to significant gains in a wide range of cognitive and physical challenges including attention, motor skills and coordination.
IM's game-like auditory-visual platform engages the patient and provides constant feedback at the millisecond level to promote synchronized timing in the brain. Exercises can be customized and involve a hierarchy of increasingly complex and precisely timed motor movements intertwined with gradually higher & faster cognitive processing, attention and decision-making. It is the only neuro-motor therapy tool that can be used successfully with all patients across the therapy spectrum, even those that require total hands-on assistance due to cognitive and/or physical impairments and those that are very young or elderly. |
