GLIA IGNITETM combines science-backed motor simulation techniques to activate the motor cortex without movement execution. The collection of videos takes you through Motor Imagery, Lateralisation and Action Observation practice, and is particularly useful for stroke survivors who have little to no movement in the arm and hand.
What you will learn
This program is a mental workout designed to help you restore visual recognition and position awareness of your affected arm and hand. It provides you with a highly engaging series of videos where you can test yourself as you mentally recognise, rotate and manipulate hand and arm positions shown to you. This may be helpful after a stroke because one reason for a lack of movement is the inability of the brain to recognise what it needs to move, either from lack of use or lack of neural connection.
This program also adopts first person (looking as if your own) and third person (looking as if others) perspectives to stimulate activity in the brain’s mirror neuron network – a powerful and evidence-based approach to motor learning that is more subtle and implicit.
For some patients with neuropathic pain after stroke, this can also change pain signal processing, leading to a possible reduction in pain.
The program includes a step-by-step followable workout that is side-specific and can be worked at your own pace as many times as you wish. The program progresses from easy to more difficult techniques and dosages.
Who this for
- Those who have little to no movement after stroke in the acute or chronic phases .
- Those who struggle to recognition arms and limbs of their own or others after stroke .
- Those who have altered pain signal processing issues after stroke .
- Those who would like to do as much as they can to help rewire their brain after stroke.
Key focus areas
- Brain areas interpreting visual and body awareness information
- Mirror neuron networks that are used in observing for learning.
- Brain areas interpreting kinesthetic information.
- Brain areas responsible for problem-solving, logic, cognitive flexibility and spatial manipulation .
