IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
GyroStim's innovative combination of technologies enables a broad spectrum of methodical,
data-driven strategies to target specific goals
for individuals from all walks of life.
Imagine the possibilities of combining powerful and precise computer-controlled whole-body rotations with targeted individualized strategies.
Click the buttons to the left to see examples of four popular strategic approaches.
Laser-detecting targets offer strategies for reinforcing visuomotor, spatial awareness, and discernment.
-
Targets placed at same or varying heights
-
Targets placed at the same or varying distance from rotating chair
-
Targets identified by colors, numbers, letters or shapes

LASER
STRATEGIES
Laser pointer strategies engage and challenge visuomotor and sensorimotor systems.
-
Laser pointer placed in the dominant or non-dominant hand
-
One laser in each hand, alternate left / right hand in sequence
-
One laser in each hand, alternate left / right as verbally commanded
-
Laser pointer mounted on head with headgear, or on other parts of the body as intended
The addition of cognitive tasks during a GyroStim session provide challenges to multi-tasking, memory, and brain processing capability.
-
Counting up or down in sequence
-
Strategies involving numbers, colors, or shapes placed on the target faceplate to challenge visual acuity, discernment, and decisiveness
-
Working memory and long-term memory list recitation
-
Many additional customized cognitive strategies can be included

CHALLENGES
SITUATIONAL
CHALLENGES
Situational challenges provide additional physical and cognitive exercise and challenge for specific and targeted training.
-
Custom targets: relevant to subject such as aircraft instrument panel
-
Passive: rotate with the head fixed, staring at a fixed point inside the rotating chair
-
Eyepatch on the dominant or non-dominant eye
-
The subject wears sports gear (i.e. football, baseball, or hockey helmet) during the session to increase situational challenge and simulation
-
Crowd noise or other simulated background noise and distractions may be introduced to increase situational exercise and challenge
