Core-Tex and SMARTfit for Brain Training

Core-Tex plays well with others.  With the increased interest and research around dual tasking of cognitive exercises plus motor challenges, Core-Tex is emerging as a clinical favorite for many reasons:

1.  The patented motion and flat, firm surface introduces a rotation and slide component that requires gaze stabilization that is not challenged on other surfaces.  Keeping the head still and vision focused is a critical focus factor. 

2.  The handrail provides external stability that can be progressed and accessed as needed during a session. 

  • Two hands can be used between contacts with SMARTfit's targets. 
  • One hand can remain on the handrail while opposite hand is used to contact SMARTfit's targets. 
  • Alternate hands can be used with handrail while hand closest to target contacts SMARTfit's target. 
  • Core-Tex is rotated so that handrail is not used or positioned along side for safety. 

3.  The variability introduced by Core-Tex promotes continual novel input to the motor system that continually challenges the system to develop new "solutions" to the movement scenarios created by Core-Tex.

Dr. Mackay discusses "quiet balance" and its role in performance.  He also shares his thoughts on eye and head movements and their relationships to both balance and golf performance. Along with Core-Tex inventor, Anthony Carey they demonstrate some of these applications. 

Adding the principles of movement variability to quadruped progressions using Core-Tex is an effective and efficient way to produce benefits you won't get from the ground. The quadruped position on Core-Tex introduces a dynamic environment for core and spinal stabilization that produces reactive muscle activity and associated variability. This means your muscles are training to turn on faster to protect your spine when needed.
We are thrilled to receive this feedback from Hands of Hope Physical Therapy and Wellness.  Beginning in 2023, Hands of Hope began utilizing Core-Tex in 10 of their clinics in the greater New York metropolitan area.
