Medical/ Rehabilitation

Over the past decade the concept of neuroplasticity, our ability to re-grow and repair neurological pathways in the brain and body, has advanced from hypothesis to accepted theory. Studies of Makoto-like therapies that combine cross-body movements with visual and auditory stimuli show significant improvement in visual, cardiovascular, and neurological performance. These improvements include the areas of memory, proprioception, cognitive processing, speech, learning disabilities and more.

Why do therapists love Makoto?

Patients really enjoy it so they readily play. Therapists get the movements they want, patients enjoy playing a game. Better quality of therapy.

It works with all ability levels. Patients can have a positive experience and build upon it.

It’s effective. Makoto can be used for physical fitness, OT, PT and youth obesity as well as for neurological therapy (TBI, stroke, SPD, depression, ADD/ADHD).

It’s measureable. Therapists can track individuals’ scores and download them. Patients enjoy seeing their improvement.

More revenue for the facility. Patients stay in therapy longer if therapy is fun and mentally engaging.

Durable. No breakable parts!

Easy to update with new programs and sounds. Connects easily to the internet with built-in Ethernet port. Can also be used for training and service diagnostics.

I had a patient who had very slow processing speed, as well as difficulty sustaining and dividing his attention. Makoto helped with all of those as well as his short term memory.He showed significant improvement in the areas of short term memory, mental processing, and fluidly shifting his concentration from one task to another. I’ve used it for many different cases to improve cognitive abilities. Makoto is a really super thing; I think it has so many applications!”

Paula Hulser, MS CCC-SLP, Speech Therapy

“In addition to visual scanning, it’s great for attention, dynamic balance and reaction time. I really like it for integrating bi-lateral use of arms and legs to improve range of motion and weight shifting. We’ve had 2 or 3 people using it simultaneously. Another therapist will be using it for the cognitive component, seeing how many they missed, how quickly they learned the task, etc. and I’ll be looking at it more as a dynamic balance activity. I’ve also used it in brain injury cases. It helps them concentrate and attend. It’s very good for amputees. Makoto can be adjusted to be as easy or challenging as you like. It’s also great for endurance-type tasks - patients will stay with it because they’re having fun!”

Susie Bass, DPT, Stroke Therapy

“Makoto provides our patients with a complete cardiovascular workout and it’s an enjoyable alternative to other standard exercise equipment. In fact, what it does is to relieve some of the anxiety and tension that some of our patients may be feeling.”
