THE ATM2 BASED ON THE HOFFMAN CONCEPT
BackProject's ATM2 (Active Therapeutic Movement), is based on the automatic training
technology concept developed by Jonathan Hoffman, BPT Grad Dip Manip Ther (Australia). The
ATM2 enables personalized body repositioning for finding a unique pain-free position for each
patient. Once this pain-free position is found the system stabilizes the patient. Then the
previously painful trunk and limb movements are performed.
How does the ATM2 work?
- It transitions almost every painful back, neck, pelvis, knee, hip and shoulder movement to become totally 100 pain-free, so that up to full strength isometric exercises can be performed; while Normalize(ing) muscle activation patterns, i.e. re-activate core stabilization muscles, so that global muscles no longer need to compensate for lack of core stability, and can rather focus primarily on global movements; and
- Provide significant "within-session" outcomes. FYI: according to a study published in the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy by Hahne (2004;50(1):17-23), when "within-session" improvements occur, then "between-session" improvements are three times more likely; and
- Provide a safe, easy to use, user operable environment to do simple, but yet very effective core strengthening exercises for long-term wellness programs.
