THE PERFORMANCE OF THE YELLOW-BLUE CHAMPIONS’ WITH ATTENTION TO THE SMALLEST DETAILS
In the field of competitive sports performance, and even more so in athletes who reach the top in their field, visual functionality related to the speed of motor response and the correction of any visual-motor deficits play an increasingly fundamental role.
Today’s athletes are required to perform and be able to perform more than athletes of the past. See for example the higher speeds that the balls reach in tennis or volleyball. In light of this, the Panthers of Prosecco DOC Imoco Volley underwent an evaluation of visual abilities at the Giovanni XXIII Medical Center of the CMB Imoco Center in Villorba, an innovative evaluation on balance and visual-perceptual by Dr. Federica Sparnelli.
A sports medical team is active at the medical center where, as far as the ophthalmic part is concerned, thanks to the use of the AvDesk Lift and other instrumental clinical examinations, tests and visual-cognitive training are carried out for athletes, also for post-injury recovery programs. But the use of the AvDesk is not limited exclusively to the sports field but is a useful tool for neuro-visual rehabilitation for patients with visual field deficits resulting from neurological or vascular damage, who may have difficulty renewing their driving license with consequent limitation of their autonomy.
