Interactive Metronome (IM) is computerized therapy tool that improves motor planning, processing and sequencing by combining neuro-sensory and neuro-motor exercises developed to improve the brain's inherent ability to repair or remodel itself through a process called neuroplasticity.


Motor planning, processing and sequencing are central to all human performance.  From the coordinated movements needed to walk, to the order of words in we hear, speak and read, our ability to efficiently plan, process and sequence information is foundational in realizing our full human potential.


Our brain’s efficient performance depends on a seamless transition of neuronetwork signals from one area of the brain to another.  In his study: "Functional MRI Study of the Effects of IM on Auditory-Motor Processing Networks",  Neal Alpiner MD, reports that IM augments internal processing speed within the neuroaxis.  Key regions of the brain affected include the Cerebellum, Corpus Collosum  Prefrontal Cortex, Cingulate Gyrus and Basal Ganglia. These parts of the brain are responsible for human timing as well as other basic human functions such as: sustained attention, language formulation and expression, motor coordination/balance and emotional regulation.

Clinical Foundations

What is IM?
An Assessment Tool:
Challenges trainees to synchronize a range of exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone
 Trainee attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions
Provides immediate exercise feedback (a timing score) measured in milliseconds
Age based Norming Chart developed via nation wide clinical research indicates timing abilities from Superior to Severely Deficient

A Treatment Tool:
A patented audio and visual guidance system helps trainees overcome self-limiting tendencies
Immediate feedback reinforces correct movements and positive behavior
A patented algorithm modifies each exercise IN REAL TIME to ensure peak performance
Based upon the concept of neuro-plasticity, ensuring that “what fires together wires together”

Attainable Improvement:
Attention & Concentration
Balance and Gait
Fine and Gross Motor Skill Coordination
Language Processing
Muscle Endurance & Strength
Social Behaviors (Control of Aggression & Reduce Impulsivity)
Working Memory

Is IM Just for Children?
Athletes, Baby Boomers, CEO’s, Dancers and Musicians all want a competitive edge
Learning difficulties [e.g., ADD-ADHD, Aspergers, CAPD and Dyslexia] effect adults if untreated
High efficacy for Amputee, Parkinson’s PTSD, Stroke and TBI rehabilitationhttps://www.box.net/shared/l1xo1xjk98https://www.box.net/shared/l1xo1xjk98shapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1
