About GyroStim

What is GyroStim?

GyroStim is an advanced, technology-assisted multimodal neurorehabilitation device that integrates the power and precision of robotics with leading neuroscience principles to enhance treatment efficiency and effectiveness, accelerate recovery, and restore function across a broad spectrum of neurological conditions.

At its core, GyroStim is a computer-controlled, multi-axis rotational chair engineered to deliver precisely controlled, motion-induced vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). Yet it is far more than a rotational platform. Through the integration of robotic automation and multimodal neurorehabilitation strategies, GyroStim delivers accurately dosed, high-intensity, and highly targeted therapy that engages multiple interdependent sensorimotor systems, including:

Vestibular
Vision
Motor
Somatosensory
Cognitive

By combining controlled multi-axis motion with interactive visual, vestibular, and cognitive challenges, GyroStim provides a unique and highly effective form of sensorimotor cross-training. This comprehensive approach simultaneously stimulates, challenges, and improves sensorimotor processing throughout the brain and body—activating and amplifying neuroplasticity through enriched, repetitive, and task-specific training.

This level of innovation and clinical impact earned GyroStim the FDA’s distinguished Breakthrough Medical Device designation—a recognition reserved only for technologies with the potential to significantly improve patient care.

By uniting robotic power and precision with advanced neuroscience principles and applications, GyroStim sets a new standard in therapeutic performance, enhancing neural recovery, restoring function, and redefining what is possible in neurological rehabilitation.

What does GyroStim do?

GyroStim delivers highly efficient and effective technology-assisted multimodal neurorehabilitation by simultaneously engaging the vestibular, visual, motor, somatosensory, and cognitive systems within a single adaptive platform. By activating, stimulating, and enhancing multiple sensory and motor systems at the same time, it effectively recalibrates, synchronizes, and optimizes functional performance across the entire sensorimotor system throughout the brain and body.

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's interactive laser-targeting system challenges patients with goal-oriented pointing and tracking tasks during motion.
- Enhances hand-eye coordination, reaction time, situational and spatial awareness, sensorimotor processing, cognition, and gross and fine motor control.
Visual-Vestibular Integration Therapy
- By combining head/body motion with vision 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, somatosensory, and cognitive systems all at once—restoring communication across the brain (cortico-cerebellar, vestibulo-ocular, and frontoparietal circuits) 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, Motion-Induced Stimulation
- GyroStim’s computer-controlled motion profiles deliver precisely dosed, robot-perfected, high-intensity stimulation—driving powerful neural activation and accelerating recovery.
- This adaptive system progressively challenges the brain and body through integrated physical and cognitive neurorehabilitation strategies, surpassing the limitations of traditional methods to deliver superior treatment, faster recovery, and lasting outcomes.

Accessibility

GyroStim is designed with accessibility at its core—ensuring that everyone, regardless of physical or cognitive ability, can benefit from advanced neurorehabilitation.

Traditional, manually administered therapies often require high levels of mobility and participation, unintentionally excluding millions of individuals with physical or cognitive limitations.

GyroStim changes that. Its innovative design enables effective therapy for a broad range of patients, including those with limited mobility caused by severe physical or cognitive impairments, significantly expanding access to care.

An optional integrated patient transfer system further enhances safety, dignity, and efficiency for non-ambulatory individuals, accommodating patients weighing up to 400 lbs.

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 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.
