How the platform should be used for rehabilitation

A practical overview of how to use the NeckCare platform exercises for rehabilitation, including a comparison table that explains what each exercise trains, who should perform it, and how to progress or regress difficulty.

Who should do this exercise?

Patients with poor performance on the Butterfly Test, focusing on the specific difficulty path where they performed poorly

Patients with poor performance on the Butterfly Test who struggle with the conventional Butterfly exercise

Patients with poor performance on the JPE test should perform this exercise in the specific directions where they performed poorly

Patients with poor performance on the Butterfly Test

Regress difficulty

Butterfly Visible Path

-

Have the patient relocate their head with eyes open

Regress to easy difficulty

Progress difficulty

Have the patient stand when doing the exercise

Have the patient stand when doing the exercise, or do the Butterfly exercise with an invisible path

Use the offset feature, the patient begins at 20° or 40° from the neutral position, and then attempts to relocate back to the offset position

Progress to medium and hard difficulties

 

All of our exercises can, of course, be used as a training tool for healthy individuals and athletes who want to train sensorimotor control, since it may potentially improve performance and lower the risk of injury.

 

The benefits of NeckCare’s exercise platform

  • Adding sensorimotor exercises to conventional therapy can improve outcomes for patients suffering from neck pain, whiplash injuries, concussion, and post-concussion symptoms
  • May speed recovery and help to prevent recurrence of symptoms
  • This is well documented in the medical literature
  • Clinicians have limited tools for comprehensive sensorimotor retraining
  • NeckCare’s exercise platform provides easy access to user-friendly, specialized sensorimotor exercises
  • Easy progression and regression of difficulty
  • Enables targeted treatment intervention for each patient for improved recovery
  • Potential injury preventive measures for athletes
  • Impaired sensorimotor control is associated with increased risk of concussion and other musculoskeletal injuries
  • Sensorimotor exercises have the potential to mitigate that risk
