Interactive Metronome was developed in the
early 1990s and immediately proved of great benefit to children
diagnosed with learning and developmental disorders. Backed by years
of clinical research and supported by prominent medical leaders in
the industry, IM soon gained national attention as a breakthrough
intervention to help those patients increase attention &
concentration, motor control & coordination, language processing
and control of impulsivity.
Within recent years, innovative
therapists have discovered the positive effects that IM can have on
patients with acquired neurological and motor interruptions.
Rehabilitation hospitals and clinics now use IM in much the same way
as their learning and developmental colleagues, to care for patients
diagnosed with Stroke, Brain Injury, Balance Disorders and
Parkinson's.
Interactive Metronome's application is so broad
because it measures and improves motor planning and sequencing, a
critical part of the central nervous system.
IM's
Rehabilitation Technologies Division (RTD) was formed to enhance
traditional approaches to rehabilitation. The RTD recognizes that in
order to achieve optimal outcomes and maximum recovery, IM
rehabilitation technology should be utilized as an integral part of
a wide variety of rehabilitative treatment plans.
Today,
there are more than 15,000 certified IM providers in over 5,000
clinics, hospitals and universities throughout the United States and
Canada. Each day our community of providers continues to grow.
IM has received an abundance of media recognition including
the CBS Early Show, CNN News, US News and World Report, as well as
various segments that have aired on hundreds of TV affiliates, radio
stations and national publications.
Interactive Metronome CEU
credits are now offered throughout the United States. It is our goal
to educate therapists and contribute to the functional
rehabilitation of their patients. |
