Brains & sprains

Movement is a complex phenomenon in which, besides the musculoskeletal system, the central nervous system (CNS) also participates, often overlooked. The CNS is extremely important in a sports environment that demands high processing capacities of the cognitive, neuromuscular, and visual systems from an individual. These systems enable us to efficiently and safely handle time and spatially constrained situations in sports.

Eyesight in sports

Today, more and more athletes at the highest levels are engaging in visual training to improve their visual, visuomotor, and neurocognitive abilities, thereby elevating their sport-specific skills to the highest levels. The CNS is the athlete's "processor" that commands all bodily functions and movements. Thus, we can imagine visual and neurocognitive training as a newer "upgrade" to our organic computer, making it more powerful, faster, and more precise.

Sensory training

At Brains&Sprains, with our in-depth knowledge of neuroscience and sports medicine, we have prepared comprehensive testing and training for your visual, visuomotor, and neurocognitive functions. The Senaptec Sensory Station allows us to gain insight into your nervous system's reaction, processing, and visual abilities. Using the results and their analysis based on an extensive database, we present your abilities measured in percentiles. Sensory training offers individuals the development of central nervous system functions that are typically found only in elite athletes.

Visual but not motor processes predict visuomotor reaction time

The study shows that a shorter reaction time depends on the speed of visual processing and the transfer of visual information between the visual cortex and motor planning areas.

Neuroplastic changes after ACL injury

Increased activity in the lingual gyrus after an ACL injury indicates a prioritization of visual information. This can overload the CNS capacities in challenging situations. By incorporating visual training into rehabilitation, we can prevent the occurrence of these neuroplastic changes.
