Frequently Asked Questions

Our exercises are designed primarily for individuals recovering from:

• Stroke
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Neurological conditions affecting motor skills
• Hand or upper limb injuries

The exercises can be beneficial for anyone looking to improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive function. They can be used as part of a home exercise program or under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

For optimal results, we recommend following the guidance of your healthcare provider. Generally, short but frequent sessions (15-30 minutes, 3-5 times per week) are more beneficial than occasional long sessions.

Consistency is key in rehabilitation. Regular practice helps reinforce neural pathways and improve functional outcomes. However, it's important to avoid overexertion and to take breaks if you experience fatigue or discomfort.

No, our exercises are designed to complement, not replace, professional therapy. They can be used as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program developed by healthcare professionals.

We strongly recommend using these exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider who can assess your specific needs, set appropriate goals, and monitor your progress.

Yes, our exercises are based on established principles of motor learning, neuroplasticity, and rehabilitation science. The specific activities incorporated into our digital exercises are adapted from evidence-based therapeutic techniques used by rehabilitation professionals.

Research has shown that gamified rehabilitation exercises can significantly improve adherence to home exercise programs and enhance motivation. Studies also support the effectiveness of repetitive, task-specific training in improving motor function following neurological injury.

We continually update our exercises based on the latest research and feedback from healthcare professionals.

Each exercise is designed to target specific skills:

• Bubble Tap: Fine motor control, reaction time, and finger isolation
• Comet Tap: Dynamic visual tracking, coordination, and reaction speed
• Trace & Reveal: Controlled movement, precision, and sustained attention
• Rhythm Reach: Memory, sequential processing, and spatial awareness
• Precision Drop: Hand-eye coordination, grasp and release skills, and accuracy
• Cosmic Maze: Planning, controlled movement, and problem-solving
• Mirror Match: Bilateral coordination, symmetrical movement, and motor control in both hands
• Sequence Builder: Executive function, planning skills, and sequential processing
• Sort & Categorize: Visual discrimination, decision-making, and attention paired with motor tasks
• Visual Scanner: Visual attention, field-of-vision expansion, and visual search skills training

Many exercises offer multiple benefits and can be customized to target specific rehabilitation goals.

Yes, all exercises include customization options to accommodate different ability levels and therapeutic goals. Common adjustable parameters include:

• Difficulty level
• Speed
• Target size
• Session duration
• Visual and auditory feedback

These settings allow you or your therapist to tailor the exercises to your specific needs and gradually increase the challenge as your skills improve.

Each exercise provides immediate feedback during and after sessions, including metrics such as accuracy, completion time, and score. Currently, these stats are shown at the end of each session but are not saved between sessions.

We are developing a progress tracking feature that will allow users to save their results and view performance trends over time. This feature will be available in a future update.

All exercises offer adjustable difficulty levels to accommodate a wide range of abilities. If you find an exercise too challenging:

• Select an easier difficulty level from the settings menu
• Increase target sizes or slow down movement speeds
• Reduce session duration to prevent fatigue
• Try a different exercise that might better match your current abilities

Remember that rehabilitation is a journey. Starting with achievable challenges and gradually increasing difficulty as you improve is an effective approach. Consult with your healthcare provider for specific recommendations tailored to your needs.

Healthcare professionals can incorporate Fine Point Rehab exercises into treatment plans in several ways:

• As guided activities during in-person therapy sessions
• As prescribed home exercise programs between clinical visits
• As assessment tools to evaluate progress in specific skill areas
• As motivational tools to increase engagement with rehabilitation

Therapists can select exercises that target specific functional goals, adjust settings to match the patient's abilities, and use the performance metrics to track progress over time.

Currently, we do not offer integrated clinical documentation or reporting tools. However, we are developing features specifically for healthcare professionals, including:

• Detailed performance reports for individual patients
• Progress tracking across multiple sessions
• Customizable exercise prescription tools
• Integration options with electronic health record (EHR) systems

If you're a healthcare professional interested in these upcoming features, please contact us to join our clinical partners program for early access and input on development.
