Interactive Metronome
The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a brain-based rehabilitation assessment and training program that utilizes a metronome to provide real-time millisecond audio and/or visual feedback to improve cognitive and motor functioning. It has been proven, through evidence-based research, to directly improve the processing abilities that affect attention, 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. IM can significantly increase your ability to process information, leading directly to improvements in:
Motor Control and Coordination
Attention and Concentration
Processing Speed
Language Processing
Reading
Decrease in Impulsive Behavior
Balance and Gait
Strength and Endurance
Academic Performance
Motor Skills for Independent Living
Fine/Gross Motor Skills
How IM Affects the Brain
The Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based, engaging therapeutic modality used by professionals who work with pediatric and adult patients with neurological conditions that affect cognitive and motor functioning. IM is both an assessment and treatment tool and has shown improvements in the following areas of the brain:
Evidence-Based Training
The Interactive Metronome® (IM) challenges clients to synchronize a range of whole-body exercises to a beat. A score is provided in milliseconds. IM’s game-like features engage the client with auditory and visual guidance and provide real-time feedback while encouraging him/her to improve their scores.
Peer-reviewed studies consistently confirm that training on IM a few sessions per week improves attention, cognition, mental processing speed, speech-language issues, executive functions, motor coordination, memory, attention, and more.
