Use of Blaze Pods in Physical Therapy
What are Blaze Pods?
Blaze Pods are light sensors that are novel, smart fitness devices that can be integrated into numerous workouts as well as many different sports. With the help of various app-based reaction and speed training, Blaze Pods are now also being used in rehabs, especially in physical therapy and sports therapy.
How do Blaze Pods work?
The Blaze Pods training system is controlled via a special app that allows the setting of a customized workout or workout in virtually any sport. The app is used to determine the color of the Blaze Pods and the time rhythm in which they light up. Depending on the workout selected, the sensors light up in different colors and in different sequences. Touching, such as hitting or kicking, deactivates the Blaze Pod that lights up during the workout. Due to the very precise recording of the corresponding reaction times and movement patterns, a later evaluation and analysis of the data is possible. The light sensors are weatherproof and can therefore be used not only indoors but also outdoors.
Reaction training and improvement of speed
The Blaze Pod system is used in a variety of different training methods and enables completely new training stimuli. The interactive training with the light sensors helps in a varied and exciting way to significantly increase the reaction capacity as well as to improve the speed of action of the trainee. Blaze Pods not only prove their worth in a wide variety of workouts in the gym or in many other sports, but today they also play an important role in rehabilitation and prevention in physiotherapy and sports therapy.
Blaze Pods in physiotherapy
Blaze Pods are also setting new trends in physiotherapy and sports therapy. Not only are they perfect for rehabilitation, but they also have preventative benefits by helping to prevent physical discomfort in the patient, whether in mobility or functional skill limitations. Neuromotor training strengthens each patient’s ability to shift, significantly improving their responsiveness. In physical therapy, Blaze Pods help patients recover their mobility and responsiveness after injury or illness and continue to increase it through ongoing training with the therapist. Cognitive skills can also be trained with Blaze Pods as part of a rehab intervention in physical therapy or sports therapy, providing a significant improvement or even increase in cognition.
Live tracking via the Blaze Pods app allows the patient’s training progress to be accurately measured and subsequently analyzed. This means that training can always be adjusted according to the individual’s level of performance.
Advantages of Blaze Pods in physiotherapy:
- as a rehabilitation measure after injuries and illnesses
- as a preventive measure for maintaining responsiveness and mobility
- training of cognitive abilities
- Strengthening of the reaction ability
- Improvement of the speed of action
- Optimization of mobility
- strengthening of functional abilities
- new training stimuli are set
- training can be varied and exciting
- measure and analyze individual progress through live tracking in the app together with the physiotherapist
