Product Type: Flash Cards

This collection includes 3 flashcard sets: 1 x foot, 1 x knee, 1 x back

A collection tailored specifically for clinicians working in the management and rehabilitation of left/right discrimination (laterality) problems in the lower body. Flash cards are an important tool in the treatment and rehabilitation of pain states where left/right discrimination changes have been identified. They are an ideal companion to the Recognise App, adding increased variety and social context.

Even simple exercises may cause pain if your brain can’t recognise whether you are using your left or right side. Recognise is the first way to accurately measure the ability to recognise left and right body parts and movements, and to train your left/right discrimination as part of a comprehensive graded motor imagery (GMI) rehabilitation programme. GMI is a sequence of strategies including laterality restoration, motor imagery and mirror therapy – refer to the Graded Motor Imagery book or Graded Motor Imagery ePub for background knowledge and instruction for the GMI process.

Each flash card set includes:

• 48 images (24 left and 24 matching right images) on durable plasticoated card
• A non-permanent marker for writing on the reverse side of the cards
• An instruction sheet with a reference list and suggestions of games to ‘retrain as you play’
• A sturdy box/container

Flash card sets are also available individually for hand, foot, back, neck, shoulder and knee.
