Interactive Metronome was developed in the early 1990's 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.
Interactive Metronome's application is so broad because it measures and improves motor planning and sequencing, a critical part of the central nervous system.
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.
