Interactive Metronome for ADD/ADHD

The IM Program provides a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions. A patented audio or audio and visual guidance system provides immediate feedback measured in milliseconds, and a score is provided.

Conditions known to benefit from Interactive Metronome Therapy are: ADD/ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorders, PDDNOS, Behavior (Aggression & Impulsivity), Tourette's Syndrome, Brain Injury, Balance/Vestibular Disorders, Early Alzheimer's, Stroke, and many more.

Improvement with IM therapy has also been shown for: Reading & Math Fluency, Memory, Working Memory aka Short Term Memory, Prioritization & Time Management Skills, Reasoning & Problem Solving, Motor Control & Coordination and Sports Performance.

The IM's application is so broad because it measures and improves Motor Planning and Sequencing, a critical part of the brain's ability to integrate information and execute activity.

The IM Program provides a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions.

A patented audio or audio and visual guidance system provides immediate feedback measured in milliseconds, patient task performance and a score are recorded. Improvement is measured through improved patient scores during IM activities, IM re-assessments, neurological exam and reported improvement of a patient's activities outside the clinic.

As a brain-based rehabilitation assessment and training program, the Interactive Metronome (IM) was developed to directly improve the brain's processing abilities that affect attention and focus, motor planning and sequencing. This, in turn, strengthens motor skills, including mobility and gross motor function, and many fundamental cognitive capacities such as planning, organizing and language.

Todays Doctors of Chiropractic Neurology, Medical Neurologists, Speech Language Pathologists, Psychiatrists and Psychologists are enhancing traditional therapy approaches with IM and achieving measurably improved outcomes.

There are approximately 1,700 clinics in the United States and Canada providing IM Therapy. IM has received considerable media recognition from the CBS Early Show, CNN News, US News & World Report and many other TV affiliates, radio programs and national publications.
