These are the FITLIGHTs that we use here at Life Motion Balance Center. With this tablet, we are able to control the speed at which the lights go off, depending on the task. We can challenge a patient’s balance by adding cross body reaching outside of their base of support. Here’s a sport-specific drill for a soccer player, where the patient is performing toe taps and then reacting when the FITLIGHTs light up. Here, the patient is recognizing the color of the FITLIGHT, followed by tapping the cone of the same color, working cognition, single leg balance, decision-making. We can amp up the difficulty and add 180-degree turns for motion sensitivity. These are just a really cool tool that we use here to personalize drills for each patient’s needs.
