Laser Targeting Technology 

The patented integrated laser targeting technology offers many new opportunities and possibilities in visuomotor, visuocognitive, and sensorimotor therapy. GyroStim software monitors and integrates objective run data (laser target hit count, target hits per minute, profile level, run duration, and more) and displays the data on the RUN page. The data provide the operator with quantifiable measures of subject response to the treatment and add an element of gamification to the experience, i.e., it's fun too!

Automated Patient Transfer System (OPTIONAL)

The automated and integrated transfer system (photo at right)) provides safe, dignified, and easy loading and unloading of non-ambulatory individuals up to 400 lbs.

Engineered for Safety

Safety is a driving force behind everything we do from design and development to manufacturing and applications.

Millions of rotations

The strongest testimonial for GyroStim safety is that there have been ZERO injuries as a result of device malfunction since the first installation in 2008 and after millions of rotations at locations around the world. 

 

Fail-safe design

GyroStim is designed and engineered with a fail-safe design throughout so that should a malfunction occur, the chair operation will default to a safe state. This design includes numerous hardware and software interlocks that prevent or stop motion of the GyroStim if they are interrupted or a problem is detected.

Redundant stop controls

Stop buttons are located on the handholds, giving the patient ultimate control and confidence knowing they can initiate a controlled stop and bring the GyroStim to home position. 

Stop buttons on the operator screen allow the operator to initiate a controlled stop to bring the GyroStim safely to home position.

 

An emergency stop button, located at the operator station, removes all power immediately from the rotation drive motors, allowing the GyroStim to glide to a stop in a safe upright position.

G-force safety

To put things into perspective, at GyroStim's maximum intensity and speed, it produces far less G-forces than experienced by hundreds of thousands of people every day.on typical theme park roller coasters.
