About GyroStim

What is GyroStim?

GyroStim is a multimodal technology-assisted neurorehabilitation device. It combines the power and precision of robotics with multimodal rehabilitation strategies to enhance neuroplasticity, accelerate recovery, and improve outcomes.

At its core, GyroStim is a computer-controlled, multi-axis rotational chair engineered to deliver precisely dosed, robot-assisted vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT).

But GyroStim is far more than a rotating chair. Its innovative integration of cutting-edge technologies with multimodal neurorehabilitation strategies delivers high-intensity targeted therapy that simultaneously engages multiple systems, including:

Vestibular
Visual
Motor
Somatosensory
Cognitive

This comprehensive, multimodal approach stimulates, challenges, and improves sensorimotor processing throughout the brain and body—activating and amplifying neuroplasticity, the brain’s natural ability to adapt, reorganize, and heal through enriched, repetitive, and task-specific training.

The result? GyroStim is so powerful and effective that it has been officially designated by the FDA as a Breakthrough Medical Device—a rare and prestigious recognition reserved for innovations that can provide treatment capabilities far beyond the standard of care.

By harnessing the power and precision of robotics to deliver accurately dosed, data-driven therapy grounded in advanced neurorehabilitation strategies, GyroStim provides highly-intensive and effective treatment for a broad spectrum of neurological conditions—helping patients restore function, regain independence, and improve quality of life.

GyroStim:
Multimodal Nuerorehabilitation

GyroStim delivers highly efficient and effective multimodal neurorehabilitation by simultaneously engaging vestibular, visual, motor, somatosensory, and cognitive systems within a single, adaptive platform. Its robot-assisted precision enables accurately dosed, progressively challenging therapy intensities, making GyroStim one of the most advanced and versatile neurorehabilitation technologies available today.

GyroStim simultaneously delivers:

Vestibular Stimulation
- Delivered through whole-body, multi-axis rotational movement.
- Activates and modulates the vestibular system, which underlies balance, spatial orientation, eye movements, postural control, autonomic regulation, and higher cognitive processes.
Visuomotor Training
- GyroStim integrates an interactive laser-targeting system where patients perform goal-oriented pointing and tracking tasks during motion.
- Enhances hand-eye coordination, reaction time, situational and spatial awareness, cognition, and motor control.
Visual-Vestibular Integration Therapy
- By combining head/body motion with visual challenges, patients retrain the brain to coordinate eye movements with vestibular input.
- Helps restore dynamic visual acuity, gaze stability, visual tracking, and motion tolerance.
Cognitive Training
- Interactive tasks performed during motion require divided attention, working memory, decision-making, and executive function.
- “Gamified” challenges encourage engagement, discernment, decisiveness, strengthen higher-order brain networks under dynamic, real-world conditions.
Multisensory Integration
- GyroStim engages the vestibular, visual, motor, and cognitive systems all at once—restoring communication across the brain for faster, more complete recovery.
- This synchronized, technology-assisted approach improves sensorimotor processing for better balance, focus, coordination, and cognitive performance, delivering lasting results that enhance confidence, independence, and quality of life.
Adaptive, High-Intensity, Non-Invasive Neuromodulation
- GyroStim’s computer-controlled motion profiles deliver precisely dosed, robot-perfected stimulation.
- Progressively challenges the nervous system to drive neuroplastic adaptation—something conventional therapy can’t replicate with the same intensity or precision.

GyroStim:
Accessibility

GyroStim is built to be accessible to all. In fact, accessibility is one of its most important and defining features. Traditional, manually administered therapies often require a high level of physical and cognitive participation—unintentionally excluding millions of non-ambulatory or lower-functioning individuals from receiving care.

GyroStim changes that. It enables therapy for a wide range of patients, including those with limited mobility or cognitive challenges. This inclusive approach significantly broadens access to all for therapeutic rehabilitation.

The optional integrated patient transfer system ensures safe, dignified, and efficient loading and unloading for non-ambulatory individuals—accommodating patients weighing up to 400 lbs.

GyroStim:
Safety & Technology

GyroStim represents the convergence of state-of-the-art technologies—resulting in a breakthrough medical device with unmatched therapeutic versatility, proven clinical outcomes, and exceptional safety for both patients and clinicians.

Safety is not an afterthought—it is a foundational principle woven into every aspect of GyroStim’s design, engineering, and clinical application. From initial concept through to manufacturing and real-world use, every detail reflects a commitment to patient safety and system reliability.

GyroStim has undergone rigorous third-party testing by Intertek Testing Laboratories, Inc., and meets or exceeds all relevant regulatory and FDA consensus standards for medical device design, development, and manufacturing. This ensures that GyroStim is not only innovative, but also safe, dependable, and fully compliant with the highest industry standards. And perhaps the most compelling evidence is its perfect safety record: over 15 years of clinical use, millions of rotations across 8 countries—and zero reported injuries.
