The available sensorimotor exercises on our platform

The key sensorimotor rehabilitation exercises used to improve neck function, including Butterfly, Butterfly Visible Path, Joint Position Error (JPE), and Dot Hunt. 

Butterfly

What does it train?

Motor control and coordination between eye and head movements

 

Who should do this exercise?

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

 

How do I scale the difficulty?

For an easier version: Butterfly Visible Path

For a harder version: Have the patient stand when doing the exercise

 

Butterfly Visible Path

What does it train?

Motor control

Depends less on eye-head coordination compared to the Butterfly exercise, since the path is visible and the patient can anticipate the movement of the target

Who should do this exercise?

Patients with poor performance on the Butterfly test who struggle with the conventional Butterfly exercises, either due to symptom exacerbation or poor performance

How do I scale the difficulty?

For a harder version: Have the patient stand when doing the exercise, or progress to the Butterfly exercise with an invisible path

 

Joint Position Error

What does it train?

Proprioception of the neck (position sense)

 

Who should do this exercise?

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

 

How do I scale the difficulty?

For an easier version: Have the patient relocate their head with eyes open

For a harder version: 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

 

Dot Hunt

What does it train?

Coordination between eye and head movements

 

Who should do this exercise?

Patients with poor performance on the Butterfly Test, since eye-head coordination is a big component of the Butterfly Test

 

How do I scale the difficulty?

Use the easy, medium, and hard features
