Recognise™ Online is the first way to accurately measure the ability to recognise left and right body parts and movements, and to train left/right recognition as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme for those with pain, injury, stress or performance issues.

This online computer programme can assess an individual’s sense of laterality and provides a graduated programme with progression tracking to regain that laterality. It is best used in consultation with your clinician.

For your body to produce the best quality, non-painful movements, the brain has to first have a sense of laterality, meaning you have to know left from right. Recognise™ flash cards are a set of 48, left and right images which can be used to train the brain to recognise left from right.

The flash cards are a conveniently small, portable bundle of study, plasticoated cards with 48 plain style images of different hand orientations. They can be carried around and used on-the-go to maintain brain stimulation in situations where other resources aren’t available. They can be used on their own, but are best used along side Recognise™ Online which has a more comprehensive library of images and videos.

Brain training can be fun for all ages with these cards - with numerous game possibilities such as Tic-Tac-Toe, Concentration, Fish, Snap, Paper Rock Scissors and Hopscotch. Instructions are included.

The NOI Mirror Box is light, portable and affordable, making it a great take home resource. It includes a Perspex mirror (300 x 295mm) and instructions.

While there has been some promising research on the effectiveness of using mirrors, we don’t really know the best protocol. Therefore, ideal management will have to be individualised.

For immediate access to all three steps in the graded motor imagery programme, NOI has put together a pack which includes Recognise™ Flash Cards, Recognise™ Online and the NOI Mirror Box.

GMI or its individual components may be used for a variety of pain and disability states especially those involving the hands and feet. In particular, GMI may be appropriate for problems such as complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, stroke and various arthritic pains.

Evidence for the use of the graded motor imagery process or its individual components comes from neuroscience and clinical trials.
