Making Rehab More Fun and Effective with Jintronix
At CenterLight Healthcare PACE, we want to help our participants as healthy and independent as possible. By introducing Jintronix, a new technology that combines rehabilitation with entertainment, we hope to encourage participation, improve function, and offer a better overall experience.
What is Jintronix?
Jintronix is a computer exercise program that uses sensors to track how participants move and gives instant feedback. It feels like a video game and participants can join alone or in a group. The therapy sessions can be personalized, making them both enjoyable and effective.
Our goal is to help participants live independently in their own homes and communities. Physical and Occupational Therapists work with participants to make sure they can manage everyday tasks safely or recover from an injury.
Why Jintronix?
- Reduced Risk of Injury
- Increased Motivation
- Sense of Achievement
- Personalized Treatment
- Improved Movement and Function
- Faster Recovery Time
As a physical therapist, I’ve found that the pictures and sounds in Jintronix make participants enjoy therapy more. They improve faster and feel good about their progress. We make sure that each participant can manage at their own level. The exercises can be done while sitting or standing.
Madelyn’s story
“My name is Madelyn and I’m 61 years old. I used to work at the USO, where I had to do a lot of pushing and lifting. Arthritis in my spine caused pain all the time and I eventually needed surgery. I joined CenterLight in 2023 after a friend told me about it.
I love it here. Jintronix helps my body and my mind. I can see the exercises better on the large screen because of my cataracts.”
Madelyn added: “It’s fun. The exercises are easy to do.”
Now, Madelyn attends our open gym and uses Jintronix in group classes twice a week. She also works her core and does leg exercises for about 30 minutes daily. She feels stronger and doesn’t need her walker as much. She also encourages other participants to join her in the gym!
At CenterLight PACE, our goal is to find innovative solutions like Jintronix to provide high quality care and empower our participants, like Madelyn, on their path to recovery and well-being.
