Originally created to sharpen visual-motor skills for athletes, the Dynavision D2™ has proven itself as a groundbreaking tool for neurological recovery. Today, it’s used at Plasticity Brain Centers in both Colorado and Florida to support recovery from conditions like stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Combining cognitive challenges with physical movements, Dynavision offers hope for patients seeking to regain independence and improve their quality of life.
What Happens During a Stroke?
A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident, occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted. Without oxygen, brain cells in the affected area begin to die. Depending on the region of the brain impacted, this can lead to:
Muscle weakness or paralysis
Memory loss
Difficulty speaking or understanding language
Problems with balance or coordination
While some effects may be temporary, others require intensive rehabilitation to restore lost function.
How Dynavision Helps Stroke Recovery
The Dynavision D2™ is a unique rehabilitation tool that combines physical activity with mental tasks to stimulate multiple areas of the brain simultaneously. This multi-faceted approach is ideal for stroke survivors because it helps retrain the brain to manage complex functions like coordination, reflexes, and decision-making.
Patients like stroke survivor Robert Choy have experienced significant progress through Dynavision therapy. “It helped me with my coordination and my reflexes, so I was able to drive by myself [and] not have to depend on other people,” he shared.
What is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
TBI occurs when a sudden impact or injury disrupts normal brain function. Whether caused by a fall, car accident, or sports injury, TBIs can lead to challenges like:
Difficulty concentrating or remembering
Loss of balance and coordination
Mood changes, including anxiety or depression
Chronic headaches or fatigue
Recovery from TBI often requires a customized approach, as each person’s symptoms and challenges are unique.
How Dynavision Supports TBI Recovery
Dynavision D2™ plays a vital role in helping TBI patients rebuild essential skills, including:
Improving Reaction Times: The visual and motor tasks on the Dynavision board encourage quicker reflexes, helping patients respond faster in everyday situations.
Enhancing Hand-Eye Coordination: By combining visual stimuli with precise hand movements, patients can regain motor control and dexterity.
Boosting Cognitive Function: The mental challenges incorporated into Dynavision exercises stimulate problem-solving and memory skills, which are often affected by TBI.
At Plasticity Brain Centers, we integrate Dynavision into individualized treatment plans that address each patient’s specific goals and challenges.
