Description

Neuro Kinetics, Inc. (NKI) is a global leader in eye tracking and neuro-otologic diagnostic systems; the company works with prominent researchers and clinicians to study and test the human neurologic, otologic and ophthalmologic systems. Incorporated in 1984, Neuro Kinetics has been the equipment and software supplier to researchers studying the brain's balance function and clinicians who diagnose and treat balance disorders.

Neuro Kinetics' customers include Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Mayo Clinic, and NASA. NKI works closely with top researchers and thought leaders to engineer unique, state-of-the-art systems with digital technology, to complete various new tests. Through this close working relationship with the world's top researchers, NKI pioneers new leading-edge equipment and protocols for the clinical environment, constantly updating its technology to help the clinician more effectively diagnose and treat vestibular and neuro-otologic disorders.

NKI's new patented rotational servo motor sets, the cornerstone piece of both its clinical and research systems, are precise, digital systems designed to provide high torque and high angular acceleration, and have the lowest torque ripple on the market (.1%). This unmatched motion control features precise movement with no inertial artifacts, providing for better testing data and a more accurate diagnosis. An integrated low noise mechanical bearing system provides smooth, quiet operation with high loads, allowing for the testing of patients up to 400 lbs.

NKI proprietary software VESTÔ 6.0 (included with the clinical Barany Chair System) incorporates a complete battery of vestibular tests and provides an analysis of the resulting data for fast and accurate diagnosis. It provides seamless control of all testing hardware including peripherals, through simple interface screens. A large database of clinical testing results provides normative data for testing comparisons.

The Barany Chair rotates using different sinusoidal and trapezoidal patterns, where the patient's vestibulo-ocular reflex is measured; the involuntary movement of the eyes during motion. Traditionally, most vestibular/neuro-otologic testing focused on the horizontal semi-circular canals. NKI multi-axis motion systems allow for expanded testing of the semi-circular canals, as well as the otolith organs, allowing for a more complete analysis of the vestibular system and a more thorough diagnosis.

Eye movements can be tracked and analyzed using NKI's new patent pending I-Portal® 4D video-ocolography (VOG) system. The system is completely portable and can be used with the Barany Chair or as a stand-alone device used with other testing peripherals.

NKI offers a complete line of products for neuro-otologic and balance testing, and products to support therapy for the prevention of falls.
