GyroStim Sensorimotor Exercise System

Neurorehabilitation is a vital aspect of recovery from various neurological conditions. Among the emerging therapies GyroStim has gained attention for its unique approach to rehabilitation. This article explores how GyroStim works and its impact on recovery. GyroStim is FDA-cleared for treatment of vestibular dysfunction --- which manifests in many forms, particularly following concussion. Understanding GyroStim Therapy GyroStim therapy utilizes whole-body incremental rotational movements and integrated interactive challenges to stimulate both the brain and body. The GyroStim provides a controlled environment that enables patients to enhance and rehabilitate their physical and cognitive functions. GyroStim therapy can be highly effective for individuals suffering from conditions like concussion, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. The multi-axis rotational therapy encourages neuroplasticity, promoting cognitive and physical progress---even for those who have platea...

GyroStim has been around since 2010, providing both neurologic treatment and training to people from all walks of life for countless different reasons. Today, fifteen years later, GyroStim is used in eight countries around the world in clinics, research labs, sports facilities, and military installations. Different things to different people Even with this longevity, answering the simple question: "What is GyroStim?" is far from simple. Many people recognize GyroStim as the spinning chair Sidney Crosby used when he had a concussion, others know GyroStim as the device a father invented for his daughter with cerebral palsy. GyroStim is also known as an athletic performance training tool, therapy for TBI, great for regulating autism and ADHD, helpful in Parkinson's and MS, effective for motion desentitization and more, and more, depending on context. The common denominator: vestibular stimulation All of these definitions are true, However, none of them address the essenti...

Many of the videos featuring GyroStim on social media show someone wildly spinning then changing directions quickly, whirling upside down, and going crazy fast. Why? Because those videos are exciting to watch. What you don't see are therapy sessions that start low and slow and gradually increase in intensity, but not before the person in the chair is ready. As you might imagine, when someone posts a video of GyroStim on social media, people who are unfamiliar with the technology post all manner of creative comments about motion sickness…and its associated symptoms…in colorful detail. (Ironically, GyroStim is frequently used to treat motion sickness). We understand this reaction, however, we have also grown immune to it. This begs the question, ‘Do people get sick in the GyroStim?’ The answer is, NO. And here's why: Intensity progression is driven by incremental advancement based on both subjective and objective data---a fancy way of saying: no one goes faster, or, upside down u...

GyroStim was invented for clinic use, however, in the course of its development, many athletes discovered that when addressing vestibular and balance issues, their overall sports performance improved as well. As a result, many athletes transitioned from healthcare to training and soon the word spread. The benefits of athletic training with GyroStim are many.
