Ball Launcher
While working at the Rehabilitation Centre at the Ottawa Hospital, I was asked to develop a program for patients experiencing complex pain. These patients have experienced a traumatic event that has caused their brain to remap improperly, causing pain when the movement planning areas of the brain are used. By tapping into parts of the brain where instinctive movements are stored, patients can avoid these pain symptoms.
The goal of the ball launcher, and its application is to force instinctive kicking and catching motions, circumventing the parts of the brain that are causing pain, and allowing patients to rewire their brain to a healthy configuration.
