Neuro-Performance Examination Details

Autonomic Nervous System Performance

An image of a close-up view of an eye with a dilating pupil, demonstrating autonomic nervous system function and integrity. The pupil reacts to changes in light, expanding to allow more light in dim conditions and contracting in bright light. This reflexive response reflects the healthy functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily processes.

Pupillary Reflex for Enhanced Performance Insights: The pupillary light reflex, a critical measure of the autonomic nervous system's balance between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) responses, serves as a direct indicator of brain state and health, given the eyes' connection to brain tissue. This reflex not only assesses neuro-integrity and autonomic function but also provides objective biomarkers for tailoring therapy dosages and evaluating responses to treatments. It's a powerful tool for understanding how to maintain composure under stress, offering a foundation for performance optimization.

Brain Function Performance

A brain image illustrating the health and performance of different regions and networks. The image showcases distinct areas of the brain with varying levels of activity and connectivity, highlighting the dynamic nature of neural processes. This visualization provides insights into brain function and network interactions, contributing to our understanding of cognitive and neurological performance.

Brain Functionality and Performance Assessment:

Our evaluations delve into the functionality of key brain regions and networks, providing essential insights into your physical and mental performance. Understanding the efficiency, endurance, and functionality of your brain is pivotal for success in both athletic pursuits and cognitive tasks within professional environments. We focus on assessing:

Frontal Cortex: Decision-making, problem-solving, and planning.
Parietal Lobe: Spatial orientation and perception.
Temporal Lobe: Memory and understanding language.
Occipital Lobe: Visual processing.
Cerebellum: Coordination and precision.
Basal Ganglia: Movement regulation and habit formation.
Cranial Nerves: Sensory and motor functions.
Brainstem Regions: Basic life functions.
Brain Networks: Connectivity for complex processing.
Autonomic Nervous System: Regulating involuntary bodily functions.

Balance Performance

A picture illustrating good balance and vestibular function. In the image, an individual stands upright with a steady posture, demonstrating a strong and stable base of support. The person's body is aligned, and there is no visible sway or unsteadiness. This image depicts a person with excellent balance and well-functioning vestibular (inner ear) system.

Balance & Rehabilitation Services Overview:

Our approach to balance integrates the coordination of vision, proprioception, and the vestibular system for optimal stability, crucial in physical activities, post-surgical rehabilitation, and recovery from neurological injuries. Our services include:

Balance Screening: Evaluating balance against standard norms.
Vestibular Assessments: Diagnosing and treating vestibular system disorders.
Neuro-Optometric Rehab: Rehabilitation to improve vision and balance post-surgery.
Weight Distribution Correction: Addressing and correcting uneven weight distribution.
Balance Management for Neuropathy: Solutions for neuropathy-induced balance issues.
TBI Recovery: Specialized programs for balance restoration after traumatic brain injuries.
Neuromuscular Re-education: Training for enhanced balance and coordination.
Orthopedic Consultation: Assessments for post-injury recovery.
Fall Risk Evaluation: Identifying fall risks and implementing preventative strategies.

Sensory Systems Performance

An image of a Senaptec sensory evaluation report, providing insights into nervous system performance. The report displays various sensory and perceptual assessments, including visual, auditory, and tactile measurements, to evaluate sensory processing and neurological functioning. It serves as a valuable tool for assessing and optimizing sensory and nervous system performance.

Sensory Motor Integration Simplified: Sensory-motor integration involves the process of the sensory system gathering information, the brain interpreting it, and the muscles responding accordingly. This measurable interaction enhances various aspects of visual and motor skills, including:

Visual Clarity and Contrast Sensitivity
Depth Perception and Near-Far Quickness
Perception Span and Multiple Object Tracking
Reaction Time, including Simple and Choice Reaction Times
Target Capture and Eye-Hand Coordination
Go/No Go Training and Processing Speed
Dynamic Visual Focus and Smooth Visual Pursuit
Binocular Vision and Visual Concentration

FDA-Cleared Vision Performance Testing

A GIF image displaying an eye-tracking test comparing non-impaired and impaired performance. In the non-impaired segment, the eye movements are smooth, precise, and follow a specific pattern. In the impaired segment, the eye movements appear irregular, erratic, and less focused, indicating challenges or deficits in tracking and visual coordination. This visual comparison highlights differences in eye movement patterns.

Dynamic Vision, Sports Vision, & Reading Assessments:

Our assessments delve into the brain's control of eye movements to enhance understanding of cognitive function, going beyond simple visual clarity. This insight allows us to create customized interventions to boost performance in daily activities, sports, and reading. We address:

Issues with visual focus and concentration
Reading difficulties, such as skipping lines or poor comprehension
Short attention spans and delayed task completion
Coordination, balance, and sports performance challenges
Effects of brain trauma on visual processing
Reduced reading interest and frequent headaches

Our focused evaluations pinpoint the root causes, laying the groundwork for solutions that enhance reading efficiency, athletic abilities, and overall daily life functioning.

Movement Performance

A picture showing a sport functional movement/biomechanical analysis session. In the image, a professional is assessing an athlete's movement patterns and posture. The athlete is performing a sports-specific movement, and various markers and sensors are attached to their body to track motion and biomechanical data. This analysis aids in optimizing the athlete's performance and reducing the risk of injuries.

First, MOVE WELL, then MOVE OFTEN.

By evaluating basic movement standards, we can prevent bad habits, fix movement problems, and ensure consistent movement quality. We take into account both neurological and orthopedic aspects to identify which areas need improvement. Our goal is to:

Screen for overall movement health,
Assess movement function,
Measure movement ability,
Enhance movement complexity.

This approach helps you move effectively, train proficiently, and develop skills on a solid foundation, steering clear of building fitness on a dysfunctional base.
