IMs Goals
  1. To drive functional neuroplasticity
  2. To improve mental/interval timing
  3. To improve the brains efficiency and performance

Hemiplegia Study Thaut et al. (2002) Published
in Neuropsychologia
  • Investigated effect of rhythm on control of
    paretic arm movements
  • "the observed changes in timing and trajectory
    control strongly suggest that the structured time
    information in auditory rhythm added significant
    kinematic stability to the patients paretic arm
    reaching motions. These changes were not present
    during the non-rhythmic condition...Our data
    suggest, therefore, that auditory rhythm may
    offer an essential component of enhanced
    sensorimotor control to make hemiparetic arm
    training more effective."

To improve the brains efficiency and performance
  • By improving
  • Auditory Processing
  • Short Term Memory
  • Working Memory
  • Processing Speed
  • Cognitive Resources
  • Executive Functions
  • Motor Coordination
  • Sensory Processing

11
IM Research
  • First private research (1994)
  • Autistic children
  • Showed fine/gross/visual-motor improvements in
    coordination
  • Published in academic circles
  • IM came to attention of Stanley Greenspan, MD

  • Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Behavioral
    Sciences, and Pediatrics at George Washington
    University Medical School.

Academic Fluency Study
  • Jacokes (2004)
  • 1500 middle and high school students
  • 20 different schools
  • Completed 12 sessions of IM
  • Participated in pre post-testing via WJ-III
  • Reading fluency
  • Math fluency
  • significant increase in grade equivalent
    performance

Neuro-imaging StudyPresented at 65th Annual
American PMR Conference
Alpiner (2004). Results from this pilot fMRI
study show IM directly activates multiple parts
of the neuro-network.

Parkinsons StudyPending Publication in Neurology
  • In this controlled study computer directed
    rhythmic movement training was found to improve
    the motor signs of parkinsonism.
  • - Daniel Togasaki, MD, Parkinsons Institute

23
Motor StudyThe Journal of General Psychology
  • Comparison of IM- trained golfers to a control
    group
  • Pre/post tested on computerized driving range
  • Significant improvements in golf shot accuracy

24
Motor StudyThe Journal of General Psychology
  • 20 Overall Gain in Shot Accuracy
  • 35 Increase for advanced golfers who had
    consistent swing mechanics

Auditory Processing Pilot StudyEtra
(2006)Applied Dissertation, Nova Southeastern
University
  • 8 children, 15 hours of IM training
  • SCAN-C
  • Filtered Words
  • Auditory Figure-Ground
  • Competing Words (dichotic listening)
  • Competing Sentences (dichotic listening)
  • Statistically significant gains
  • All subtests
  • Greatest Gains subtests 3 4
  • Strongly suggests IM affects auditory processing
    disorders by influencing neurological
    organization.

  • Patient exercises four neurological functions at
    once
  • Attention Concentration
  • Sensory Integration
  • Functional Motor Control
  • Synchronization
  • What is fired together is wired

IM GAIT MATE
  • Pre-gait skills are important
  • Weight shifting
  • Unilateral stance
  • Limb Advancement
  • BUT
  • The only true way to practice walking is to WALK.

31
IM GAIT MATE
  • IM Gait Mate is an extension of IM
  • Expands IM's capabilities
  • Allows the patient to move freely AND receive
    continuous feedback during gait exercises.
  • Feedback will help the patient develop a
    symmetrical gait pattern.
