Getting to know the INSiGHT neuroTECH – neuroPULSE
In this three part blog series, we will get to understand better the INSiGHT neuroTECH that we use in our office to objectively measure and review our practice member’s progress.
The neuroTECH consists of 3 INSiGHT scanning instruments:
- neuroPULSE HRV
- neuroCORE EMG
- neuroTHERMAL
When all three instruments are combined in an examination within a prescribed time frame, the neuroTECH will produce a CORESCORE report.
1. neuroPULSE
The neuroPULSE assesses the balance and capacity of one’s Autonomic Nervous System using Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which examines the impact of lifestyle stress while measuring adaptability.
It plots the balance and overall activity of the autonomic nervous system which regulates not only the heart’s rate and rhythms but all bodily functions.
The neuroPULSE is a specialized HRV system which simultaneously streams Galvanic Skin response (GSR) for anxiety testing along with finger temperature while analysing heart rates. The combination of these three metrics ensures that the HRV testing is done in the normal resting state which ensures accurate and reproducible results on each exam.
This is important as it allows the clinician to show the practice members their results in comparison to others and develop care plans accordingly.
The neuroPULSE can be used with practice members of all ages to track their adaptive reserve. A specialised ear clip and finger sleeve sensor are included and are designed to be used with paediatric population.
If a person is constantly subluxated, and has built up stress within their nervous system, their adaptability to cope with stressful events is diminished. By adjusting their vertebral subluxation, and advising on lifestyle modification, practice members will be able to shift closer to the desirable green zone, as seen in the neuroPULSE graph.
A three minute collection is generally recommended to assure that enough pulse wave data is collected during the examination. The examiner has the ability to increase or decrease the collection time depending on the practice member and the situation.
