The Artzt Neuro "Starter" neuro-training tools: improved perception for improved performance
The "Starter" neuro-training tools by Artzt Neuro are used in neuro-centred exercises for improved sports performance and therapy. The set consists of different eye charts, a Marsden ball, a Brock string, pinhole glasses and 2 saccade pencils. The tools primarily train visual perception to achieve the best possible information processing. Nearly all of our movements are controlled by the visual system. The eyes provide our brain with all the important information about our environment, allowing for targeted movement. Even small losses of information or disturbances can lead to less than optimal performance.
The Artzt Neuro Marsden ball: follow the letters
The Marsden ball included in the Artzt Neuro set is designed for visual therapy. The ball is used to train eye movements and thus the continuous focusing of moving objects. It is a ball with an imitation leather surface and printed letters, which is attached to a string. The ball is used to train a better understanding of one’s own eye movements. The aim is to coordinate and effortlessly control eye movements. Precise and predictable eye movements guide controlled movements of the body.
Product information – Artzt Neuro Marsden ball- Ball with large letters
- Upper material: imitation leather
- Diameter: 7 cm
- Length of string: 160 cm
- Weight 152 g
The Artzt Neuro Brock string: for the eyes
The Artzt Neuro Brock string trains synchronous, binocular vision. One end of the string is held against the nose, while the other is fixed at a defined point. The coloured wooden balls are aligned on the string at different distances. The user fixes their gaze on one ball at a time – the different distances allow different scenarios to be trained.
Product information – Artzt Neuro Brock string- Length of string: 3 m
- String material: 100% cotton
- 5 wooden balls (red, yellow, green, blue and natural), each with a diameter of 20 mm
- FSC-certified wooden balls made of beech wood
- Saliva- and perspiration-resistant paint, free from heavy metals (compliant with EN71 DIN53160)
Artzt Neuro pinhole glasses: train your eyesight
The Artzt Neuro pinhole glasses included in the set allow you to train your eye muscles. They also relax the eyes by reducing the amount of light (which acts as a stress factor) entering the eyes. This allows incident light to be focused more specifically (selectively). Instead of conventional lenses, these glasses use a dark plastic grid. Through the small holes, the glasses provide a ‘clearer view’ and relax light-stressed eyes.
Product information – Artzt Neuro pinhole glasses- Material: plastic
- Dimensions (W×D×H): 14.5×14.5×5 cm
- Incl. storage bag
Artzt Neuro saccade pencils
The saccade pencils are used to train the ability to specifically control fixation points (duration, amplitude and accuracy) and the convergence and divergence of the eyes (squinting and gazing). The pencils can also be used to train eye tracking movements and head control (balance).
Product information – Artzt Neuro saccade pencils- Material: raw material from local, sustainable forestry (PEFC-certified)
- Dimensions: 24×1.2×0.8 cm
- Weight: 14 g
Eye patch and eye charts
The eye charts train the eye muscles and are used for various visual exercises, such as isometric exercises, for training the ability to focus at different visual distances, for peripheral vision perception and for the accurate fixation and control of objects. Depending on the exercises, the eye patch is used to train one specific eye. The eye charts come in A5 format.
