TwitterA Competency Certified Vestibular Therapist, Kenji Carp has worked with a variety of our Shuttle products and developed a variety of innovative protocols. But perhaps the most intriguing work he has done is in regards to Perturbation Therapy using our Shuttle Balance. Kenji has incorporated Perturbation Therapy in working on both injury Prevention and Rehabilitation.
Fall Prevention is a major issue in this country and Kenji has taken the approach that one of the best ways to prevent a fall is to first simulate a fall. This allows a patient to develop the sensory perception and neuromuscular capabilities to help prevent a fall in the future.
In much the same way, Kenji has incorporated Perturbation Therapy in working with Neck and Cervical injury patients. Kenji uses Perturbation to simulate a mild whiplash experience. This forces the muscles around the neck and spine to react in space and time in order to become stronger.
Recent studies are showing how Perturbation can be effective in a variety of different of treatments. Kenji Carp is using his expertise and eloquence in teaching others how to apply this intriguing therapy in a variety of innovative ways.
