Focus Performance, Inc.

Participants are instructed to synchronize various hand and foot exercises to a reference tone heard through headphones. The client attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions such as tapping his/her toes on a floor sensor mat or clapping while wearing an IM® glove with palm trigger. Guide sounds tell you whether you are early, late, or right on the beat and your brain quickly learns how to find its own rhythm. Over a series of 12 to 15 sessions, your brain learns rhythm and timing, much like the way feedback from training wheels once helped you learn how to balance on a bicycle. As timing improves, so do motor control & coordination, focus, concentration & attention span, self-control, and school, sports, & social performance.

	IM® was originally used with children. Therapists treat children with attention-deficit, sensory-integrative and other disorders using the metronome. In 2001 a new training protocol was developed for academic and athletic applications. The Interactive Metronome® program provides a structured, goal oriented training process that challenges the client to precisely match a computer generated beat.
