A Brief History
Interactive Metronome (IM) was developed in the early 1990s and
immediately proved of great benefit to children diagnosed with learning
and developmental disorders. Backed by years of clinical research and
supported by prominent medical leaders in the industry, Interactive Metronome soon
gained national attention as a breakthrough intervention to help
patients increase attention & coordination, language processing
and control of impulsivity.
In recent years, innovative therapists have discovered the positive effects
that Interactive Metronome can have on patients with acquired neurological
and motor deficits. Rehabilitation hospitals and clinics now use Interactive
Metronome in much the same way as their learning and developmental
colleagues, to care for patients diagnosed with stroke, brain injury, balance
disorders and Parkinson's.
Interactive Metronome's application is so broad because it measures and
improves motor planning and sequencing, a critical part of
the central nervous system. If you would like to experience first hand
