Comprehensive Assessments

Our assessments are thorough and organized in three increasingly complex sessions, which explore potential central causes of physical, cognitive, emotional and intellectual issues.

First, a General Consultation followed by a Suitability Assessment will demonstrate whether we can help you in correcting your condition, before initiating and investing in the 2 next assessment sessions and a treatment program especially designed for you.

This “triage” type of assessment is a short 1 hour review and testing which will provide an objective and measurable indication as to whether the NeuroKinetics Clinic approach is suitable for your health condition. It is the starting point to be eligible for further more comprehensive assessment before any treatment is initiated.

Objectives and expectations are to:

  • Screen whether a condition would respond satisfactorily or not to treatment before starting treatment
  • Gauge minimum improvement expected after completing a treatment program
  • Identify data necessary to design customized treatment program for a given patient.

After a preliminary interview, the patient will have a customized series of gentle non invasive tests selected among over 150 neurophysiological tests which, in order to determine brain performance and controls over body and mind. These tests are performed in a special sensory-deprived (all black) room, these tests investigate possible brain dysfunction or damage that could cause patient’s symptoms and disabilities. They also measure expected performance gain and symptom recovery under various stimulations.

One of the reasons that we do such detailed medical interviews, including cross checking information from different perspectives, is so that an accurate model of cause and symptoms can be gathered. This is verified against the testing to ensure accuracy. With this data, a clear picture of what the brain needs to restore function is created.

Screening before treatment is a key part of achieving our high 85% success rate. To book your screening assessment, contact us.

Bring:

  • Any medical records you may have at hand
  • List of your chronological medical and trauma history
  • List of your current symptoms
  • List of your current treatment/drug prescriptions
  • You may bring a guest, if you wish

The full assessment required before treating a chronic or complex health condition may take up to 10 hours in total. This assessment is split into three steps; the Suitability Assessment, Level II and Level III Assessments.

Acute conditions typically require a General Consultation and a Suitability Assessment followed by a Level II; however they may require a Level III depending on patient’s medical history.

Aside from only a treatment program, assessments can be used to proactively measure functional level, such as for athletes wanting to improve performance or identify weak areas. Assessments can be used for monitoring progress, or writing medical-legal reports.

  • We have three levels of testing, the first of which is the Suitability Assessment, which includes a subset of the full assessments. This provides enough information to determine whether there is 1) responsiveness to this treatment approach, 2) whether a treatment program for chronic conditions is required, or 3) if therapy can be accomplished with a short set of treatments, such as for acute conditions.Assessments usually include:

    • Detailed interview of medical history and symptoms
    • Set 1 of measurements – identifies everyday functional level
      • Postural assessment
      • Visual-ocular-motor assessment
      • Balance assessment
    • Set 2 of measurements – same tests as Set 1 with therapeutic stimulation applied
    • Identifies what areas are expected to be responsive to treatment
      • Areas with change are dysfunctional (treatable)
      • Areas with no or low change are damaged (not directly treatable)
    • Interview and test results are compared and correlated
  • The testing determines the state of the sensory motor and related cognitive controls in the brain by measuring physical functional abilities. For example, measuring posture and comparing to normal posture ranges indicates how well the brain areas which control posture are functioning. Once we understand what is and is not working, we can proceed to help you be yourself again.
