Intrinsic perceptual motor training device

Claim 1

A perceptual motor training device comprising: means for retraining a patient after interruption of the neurological functions of such patient by intrinsically training that patient to recognize the spatial position and orientation of a particular body part relative to other parts of his body, said means including test area defining means for defining a test area which has the spatial limits and orientation thereof prescribed according to desired spatial limits of the particular body part relative to the other parts of his body for a particular motor function for which the patient is being retrained and/or tested, said test area defining means including two first reference beam generators for defining a first portion of said test area and at least one second reference beam generator positioned above said first reference beam generators to define a second portion of said test area above said first portion of said test area, and means for determining when the spatial position and/or orientation of the particular body parts relative to the other parts of that patient's body are in error with regard to a desired spatial position and/or orientation of the particular body parts relative to the other parts of the patient's body in the particular retraining and/or testing and signalling the patient in a non-tactile manner whenever the particular body part of the patient's body associated with the particular motor function being tested and trained moves out of the test area.
