DEVICE

Galvanic vestibular stimulation

galvanic current generated by Gymna DUO 200 and delivered through conductive medium (electrode gel) by two small carbon rubber electrodes 3 cm 2 each bilaterally over two mastoid processes for 30 minutes, two times per week for 12 weeks .

DEVICE

MovAlyzeR® software from Neuroscript

MovAlyzeR® movement analysis software from Neuroscript turns a pen tablet or mouse into a high-quality system for examining movements by a pen, mouse or finger. Hence, it can train and analyze hand dexterity and handwriting using pen tablets such as sentence parameters.
