What is FMI (Functional movement intervention)? Functional movement intervention at ReImagineOT is based on several evidence based interventions giving functional change in a quicker time period. This approach helps improve functional independence with activities of daily living skills. FMI is personalized to functional goals for your child. FMI works with neuroplasticity to facilitate normal movement patterns and activation of proper muscles to enhance functional outcomes. FMI prevents poor motor patterns learned that inhibit progression when advancing motor skills as the child ages.

FMI uses-

• Motor repetitions of functional movement patterns in a guided environment to promote true functional change and independence with motor skills
• Focused movement patterns to achieve independence with functional activities
• Fine motor repetitions for grasping/releasing, Self-feeding, handwriting, etc.
• Use of Kinesiotape, custom garments/splints, NMES/FES, NDT treatments
• Evidence Based methods
• Self-care: focused goals with repetitions, intermixing adaptive tools and repetition

• Who is FMI good for? Functional Movement Intervention is good for children with:
• Cerebral Palsy
• Hemiplegia
• Spinal cord injury
• Spina Bifida
• Developmental Delay
• Developmental Coordination Disorders
• Down Syndrome
• Autism
• Genetic Disorders
• Brain Injury
• Progressive Neurological disorders

FMI focuses on:

• Alignment
• Proper facilitation of muscles associated with functional movement
• Inhibition of poor motor patterns that inhibit safety an independence with functional motor tasks
• Incorporates various tools to assist with 24/7 facilitation and inhibition for carryover and more impact for the entire intervention
• Proper joint alignment, tools to enhance functional outcomes

Intensive intervention is performed by a highly trained therapist
