In previous articles we have gs early examined the importance of tables proprioceptive high frequency. In the next lines you riportanor so summarizing the main points discussed in previous articles
It has been said that
the use of a tilting tablet with real-time visual feedback, while not reproducing any type of movement or human activity, is actually a tool highly specific to evaluate and reprogram the features of the centers subcortical assigned to the control of the movement and the postural control in all conditions.
Thanks to visual feedback greatly increases the number of situations in which the subject biomechanical support must handle unit of time: the inclination of the table at each instant is communicated through the trace on the monitor, the view of the hook and transmits it to the subcortical centers that process to handle new situations.
The normal Freeman tables without visual feedback allow you to work only at low frequencies, obstacle to the achievement of desired benefits. In fact, the result of the management of translation to is the high-frequency signal flow directed towards the nerve centers, who are trained to interpret them properly and provide adequate answers more quickly. For the nerve centers is a very effective exercise of simultaneous translation of proprioceptive signals, a real "full immersion language course".
Imagine a Formula One driver that improves performance only when driving a car that achieves high-speed race: along the same circuit with an economy would be incomparable to the low number of situations to manage in the time unit.
Very short periods of training for a total of a few minutes to stance limb mono-breech with a tilting table and visual feedback increases the flow of signals that arise from proprioceptors and reach nerve centers to give life to the reflections, possible to improve the static and dynamic testing with an important autonomy of the security of the movement.
The development of the ability to use a subconscious level the proprioceptive signals is an important resource and not just kind of rehabilitation (also add to the reatletizzazione), post-traumatic or post-surgical, but also:
- An effective means of preventing the autonomy of the movement, choice of motor tasks simplified, fall hazard especially for the elderly
- An effective means of training to improve the technical gesture energy-reducing energy expenditure and increasing the strength
- An effective means of training to improve the coordination, thanks in part to a higher stability of the limb support.
Importantly,, indipendentemente from the sport practiced, all great champions have a great ability to maintain balance.
The strategy archeopropriocettivo-visual postural control allows fine, common characteristic among the greatest sports champions, and can be easily acquired by all in a very short time.
For this reason the use of the table proprioceptive high frequency as a means of training during the exercise sessions could be sporting a panacea for their athletes.
But ...
What is the big problem of the boards proprioceptive high frequency?
The big problem of the proprioceptive high frequency tables is their cost, often prohibitive,
so I thought to find a solution to get the same results but with decidedly lower costs:
The challenge was to try to provide visual feedback to the subject to the components of movement without (on how you already have guessed) the use of the tablets proprioceptive high frequency.
You would have thought the use of a mirror, but it is now known as a mirror image is too complex for the information can be processed at the subcortical level.
Then the solution alternative to tables proprioceptive high frequency that connect to a PC was to use a common laser point that,
connected to the center of the tablet proprioceptive, projecting the wall of the dot position of the table during the tilting, how you can see from the image below:
The dot in motion describes a track as a result of an optical illusion: In fact, the speed of movement of the laser combined with the limited ability of the eye to separate the images in a motion too fast creates a “wake effect”
similar to that produced on the computer monitor tables proprioceptive high frequency. After some testing with this alternative source has been observed that the benefits of the training are the same as those obtained from expensive boards proprioceptive high frequency. All this led me to build a new instrument more suitable for this work, which reproduces the same effects but with considerably lower costs to the tables already mentioned.
Obviously it is possible to make variations to this solution: You can use multiple laser beams, placed at the ends of the tablet; imagination we can meet.
One last tip: When do proprioception exercises, for more benefits, it is important that the subject is barefoot because it calls for the activation of proprioceptors.
