Neuromotor Training (NMT) is a component of Neurobehavioral Therapy that focuses on improving the coordination and control of movement. It is based on the idea that movement and motor skills are closely linked to brain function, and that through the movement can be achieved changes in the brain.

​

Examples of Neuromotor Training include:

​

• Balance training: This type of training can help improve production of the neurotransmitter Dopamine in specific areas of the brain, primarily in the substantia nigra and the hypothalamus.

 

•  Coordination training: This type of training can help individuals improve their coordination and fine motor skills, which can help improve functionality of the brain areas such as motor cortex, frontal cortex, posterior cortex, and other brain areas.

​

• Gross and fine- motor training. This type of training improves brain functionality by increasing the plasticity of the nervous system. The repetitive movements involved in motor training can create new neural connections and enhance existing ones. This increased connectivity can then lead to improved function in various areas of the brain, including those involved in movement, coordination, and perception. Additionally, motor training can activate regions of the brain responsible for executive functions, such as decision-making and problem-solving, further contributing to enhanced brain functionality.

​

• Proprioception training: This type of training can help individuals improve their awareness of their body position in space, which helps to improve functionality of the brain areas which are also involved in many types of cognitive functioning.

​

It's important to note that these types of therapies require a proper evaluation and assessment by a trained professional and should be tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
