- 1. For what conditions/joints is Core:Tx appropriate?
-
Core:Tx for Professionals is a versatile therapy tool. It is appropriate for many conditions and injuries where neuromuscular reeducation is important during the rehab process. The system comes with several straps it can be attached to different joints and muscles groups – Hip, Knee, Ankle, Spine, Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist.
Core:Tx for Stroke Survivors has a set of pre-calibrated exercises available for the following joint areas and muscle groups – Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hip, Knee, and Ankle. Because this device does not stimulate movement, it is necessary for the stroke survivor to be able to move their affected limb on their own.
- 2. Is Core:Tx an electrical stimulation device?
-
No. Core:Tx is a motion-sensing system that allows users to gain visual and audio feedback on their movements to increase motor learning and facilitate neuromuscular re-education.
- 3. What is the technology?
-
MotionTrack™ technology is the platform technology designed to leverage the unique features of our proprietary software and algorithms. MotionTrack combines these algorithms with wireless inertial sensor technology to capture and output human motion data creating a broad spectrum of potential applications.
- 4. Is the product guaranteed?
-
We offer a 30-day money back Guarantee for all Core:Tx products. With your Core:Tx for Professionals license, you are entitled to a 1-year warranty.
- 5. What are the system Requirements?
-

- 7. Do you have research to support the efficacy of the product?
-
Yes. While we are currently seeking efficacy trials of our specific product, there is a wealth of accepted and documented research that supports the methodology with which we use to enable neuromuscular reeducation and motor learning. Please see the “Supporting Research” section of our website for detailed studies and articles.
- 8. How can I order Core:Tx?
-
Call 1.800.722.4749 for more information and to place your Core:Tx order!
- 9. What are the benefits of Core:Tx to my clinic?
-
The Core:Tx ® has a unique game like format of feedback offers the following benefits:
- The ability to measure and track functional range of motion. As well as measure the quality of functional motor control
- It provides an environment where the patient is cognitively involved.
- It keeps the patient engaged and motivated through many repetitions.
- It provides real time audio and visual feedback that can compensate for a potential lack in other feedback (proprioception) needed for motor learning.
- Ease of use and versatility allow the therapist to simulate and measure the patient’s ability to perform functional movements.
- 10. Are there CEU credits available for Core:Tx certification?
-
Yes! We work with Interactive Metronome to provide clinical certification on our products. Please see the “Clinical Partners” page of our website, or call us directly at 1.800.722.4749 for more information on these exciting opportunities.
