The Clarus Institute™ was established and is funded by Clarus Transphase Scientific™, Inc., the developer and manufacturer of Q-Link® Products. The Institute, which serves as a platform for a range of educational and functional performance research initiatives sponsored by Clarus and other institutions, also develops and provides leadership, training and research in field-based energy technologies, including Clarus’ own “Sympathetic Resonance Technology™”.
During these challenging times, a new paradigm is emerging where the keys to health, wellness and human performance will include increasingly available access to energetic technologies and information, just as proper nutrition and medical services are accepted necessities. Through the science of human performance, Clarus Institute provides interested individuals and businesses with educational materials, seminars and programs, research and other resources to improve their experience of life, wellness and their personal and professional performance.

CLARUS INSTITUTE RESEARCH
New Modality for Increasing Strength, Energy and Cognitive Flexibility in Golf and Sports Excerpt from Study Abstract by R. Gagne, EET, CFE, NADEP
The objective was to design a protocol to assess functional changes in strength and cognitive flexibility (The Q-Link Challenge™) on individuals who used defined wellness products (Q-Link®). The wellness and nutritional industry has been inundated with new products and solutions for individuals claiming to be advantageous in increasing functional performance. Historically these products provided little research and depended upon strictly user testimonials to document change. Clarus Performance Institute contracted MedSource LLC, an independent testing and Research Company in Williamsburg, Virginia, to properly structure and document change with their product from a clinical perspective, to reassure their population of users on the benefits of their technologies. The protocol was designed to incorporate a test / retest structure on the same day as the use of the Clarus’ Q-Link® product. Users had no previous exposure of the technologies and / or the testing methodologies. Two industry standard testing modalities were used in the course of our investigation Computerized MedSource hand strength evaluation and computerized CNS™ cognitive flexibility tests. Both testing methodologies are considered to have a high inter and intra rater reliability with minimal learning curve variation. Accuracy of the strength testing was calibrated to 0.05lbs and results were cross-compared to standard industry norms based on age, sex and gender. Cognitive testing included measures for attention, motor, global response and reaction time. All testing activities were based on industry accepted and published criteria. The results of the same day testing were substantial from three perspectives: (1) the overall increase in strength and available energy / decrease in fatigue curves, (2) the increase in cognitive flexibility / functionality in all tested areas, and (3) the appearance of data related to the specific sport of golf which qualified a consistent appearance of ambidextrous activity.
