Strategies

GyroStim provides for a broad spectrum of methodical, data-driven strategies to target specific goals for individuals from all walks of life. The possibilities for including complementary cognitive exercises during a GyroStim profile for targeted therapies are virtually unlimited.

Target Strategies
Laser-detecting targets offer strategies for reinforcing visuomotor, spatial awareness, and discernment.

• Targets placed at same or varying heights

• Targets placed at same or varying distance.

• Targets identified by colors, numbers, letters or shapes.

• Custom targets: relevant to subject such as aircraft instrument panel

​

Laser Pointer Strategies
Various ways to engage and challenge sensorimotor systems throughout
the human body.

• Laser in dominant or non-dominant hand

• One laser in each hand, alternate left / right hand in sequence

• One laser in each hand, alternate left / right per clinicians verbal commands

• Laser mounted on head with headgear, or on other parts of the body as needed

Cognitive Strategies
Additional cognitive challenges during GyroStim training to improve multi-tasking and brain processing capability.

• Counting up or down in sequence

• Simple or complex math equations

• Familiar list recitation

• Short or long term recall challenges

Physical / Situational Strategies
To exercise sensorimotor challenges specific to the individual.

• Interactive: rotate while actively pursuing targets, with the option to engage in cognitive activities

• Passive: rotate with head fixed and staring at a fixed point inside the rotating chair

• Eye-patch on dominant or non-dominant eye

• Subject wears sports gear (i.e. football helmet, hockey helmet) during session

• Crowd/stadium noise or other appropriate background recordings are played loudly during the run
