Core:Tx® is a patent-pending wireless system built on Performance Health Technologies, Inc.’s innovative MotionTrack™ platform, which is widely used by professional sports teams. The system combines hardware and software operating on a personal computer (PC) along with a small, mouse sized motion-sensing device that can be attached anywhere on a user’s body with adjustable straps. The mouse sized device senses the user’s limb motion relative to their joints and continuously transmits critical information wirelessly to the PC software. The feedback is in real-time and helps keep patients engaged in the therapy routine while simultaneously aiding neuromuscular reeducation and strengthening muscles throughout an adjustable range of motion.
Core:Tx® is specifically designed to enhance existing rehabilitation, preventative and strengthening protocols by making the entire process more efficient. Core:Tx® for Professionals turns rehabilitation into a wireless, game-like experience that bring entertainment and motivation to patients recovering from a variety of neuromuscular conditions as well as joint injuries.
“Seniors are enjoying their own video game revolution, using gaming for mental and physical
Exercise,” said Stephen Page, PhD, Associate Professor at the Departments of Rehabilitation Sciences, the University of Cincinnati. “Increasingly, we hear about stroke survivors using Nintendo’s Wii for rehabilitation. But among all stroke survivors, only about 20 percent regain sufficient finger control that would allow them to extend and flex a single finger and control a button on the Wii. Products like Core:Tx(R) are not simple games that motivate seniors to exercise, rather concrete rehabilitation tools that keep seniors motivated,” he added.
Dr. Prunetti, CEO of Performance Health Technologies, said, “Recognizing both the need for therapists to provide more therapy within an increasingly limited frame of time, and clinical research demonstrating that patients suffering from neurological disorders respond well to game-like programs, our medical and computer experts have brought together clinical knowledge, cutting-edge technology and advanced software to create this system.”
Mr. Prunetti continued. “The market for consumer electronic- based therapeutic and well-being products is expected to grow by 20 percent per year, reaching about $4 billion worldwide by 2010. At PHT, we are always innovating to meet this growing demand. Our engineers work tirelessly to develop the latest tools that will keep our cutting-edge technology relevant and exciting. Future products will include internet enabled software and hardware systems that allow users even more flexibility with their exercise routines, whether rehabbing from an injury or condition, or building strength and coordination.”
