Functional neurology & chiropractic
You have always prescribed frequency, intensity and duration. Now you can enforce it.
Your model already assumes that specific, repeated, correctly dosed activation drives change, and that the dose has to continue between visits. The gap has never been the theory. It has been the delivery mechanism and the absence of any record of what actually happened at home.
The problem
In-office activation is the easy part
A child comes in twice a week. You do precise, targeted work. Then they leave, and for five days the specification exists only as an instruction to a parent — a set of exercises on a printed sheet, performed with unknown frequency, unknown accuracy and unknown intensity, if performed at all.
When they return flat, you are reasoning from a single hour of observation and a parent's recollection. You cannot separate a program that was wrong from a program that was never run. That ambiguity is expensive: it costs weeks, it costs families their confidence, and it makes your outcomes look noisier than your clinical reasoning actually is.
Specification without delivery
A dose you cannot administer is a dose you did not prescribe.
Delivery without observation
Home work you cannot see is home work you cannot reason about.
Observation without adjustment
And data you only get at the next appointment arrives a fortnight too late.
What changes
A prescription that reaches Tuesday evening
Target functions or regions
Weight a program across maths, communication, perception and higher functions, or drop to the level of attention, concentration, timing, accuracy, social skills and imagination. When the anatomy is what you are working, target regions directly. The allocation is explicit and adjustable, as a percentage, per child.
Dose it the way you already think
Intensity from −10 to +10. Duration in minutes per session. Frequency in days per week. Set per patient, changed whenever the clinical picture changes, and applied to every session from that moment — not from the next appointment.
Know whether the dose was taken
Sessions completed against sessions prescribed, per child, per week. This is the variable your model has always depended on and never been able to measure. It is the first column on your screen.
Keep the families who cannot come twice a week
Distance and frequency are the two commonest reasons a developmental case ends early. Remote programs with real oversight keep those children in care — and let you take referrals from well outside your drive time.
In practice
What a program looks like
An eight-year-old with an inattentive presentation and poor timing comes in on Monday and Thursday. You set the home program at ten minutes, five days a week, intensity +3, weighted towards timing and sustained attention.
On Wednesday you open the caseload view and see four of four sessions completed and performance moving. On the following Wednesday you see two of five and a fall. You call the mother, discover the family's evenings have collapsed since term started, and drop the program to six minutes, five days. Adherence recovers the same week.
None of that required an appointment, and none of it waited a fortnight to become visible.
