Performance Health Technologies, Inc. is offering a new and sophisticated way for people to interact with their own bodies. Bringing together medical and computer experts, the company has combined advanced software and medical technologies to create MotionTrack™, a proprietary technology platform that can track and monitor detailed body movements and motion in real time, providing immediate visual feedback to the user. The company’s goal is not only to transform the way individuals exercise and train for sports, but also to revolutionize rehabilitation from injuries, providing more efficient and controlled therapy.

Performance Health’s innovative products are gaining wide acceptance, and endorsement, by medical, rehabilitation, and athletic communities, and were recently featured in Scientific American Online. The products are now being used by orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, occupational and physical therapists, and even speech pathologists.

The popularity is due in part to the success experienced by patients recovering from injuries. A good example is a brain-injury patient using the company’s Core:Tx® product line. The system includes dynamic therapy tools for use by professionals in a clinical setting, or more simplified programs for use in the home by individuals. It allows clinicians to create customized exercise routines, with the ability to quickly change the system as the patient progresses. In this case, the patient was able to start making progress quickly with twice weekly one-hour sessions in a clinical environment, but could then continue therapy at home, staying connected with his therapist via the Internet, performing pre-set custom designed exercises.

Performance Health also offers Core:Tx for stroke survivors, allowing them to exercise in the comfort of their own home, without the supervision of a therapist. With an informative exercise User Guide, stroke survivors can choose from preset activities designed to suit the specific needs of stroke patients, and work their way to a functional outcome at their own pace. The company plans to develop further customized products for other neurological and motor control conditions and injuries for use in the home.
