Proper development and neurophysiological maturation of these primary reflexes not only support the sensory and motor systems but also cognitive, behavioral, language [1,[5][6][7] and neuroimmunity development [11]. AbstractIntroduction: MNRI offers non-invasive neuromodulating techniques to activate reflex patterns which awaken the body's natural resources and support the functioning of sensory, motor, and cognitive systems.Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital disorder attributed to the anomalous amniotic bands that entangle fetal parts during intrauterine life leading to a wide range of physical abnormalities in a newborn infant, in this case, located at the superior third portion of the right arm. Due to the severity of the constricting band observed and assessed at birth, the microvascular surgeon opted for immediate post-birth surgery and Occupational and Physical Therapies were respectively initiated at 8 and 10 weeks post-surgery.Objective: This article describes early physical therapy intervention (post-surgery) using the MNRI method and discusses the effectiveness of MNRI techniques in the recovery of arm function.Results: Early intervention using the MNRI neuromodulation techniques with ABS disorder demonstrated new potentials and possibilities for existing therapy modalities allowing unique and faster motor milestone development. These results demonstrated voluntary motor and cognitive control of the immobile limb in an infant with ABS. Summary:The use of the ready patterns of the brain-primary inherent reflexes can be a key method and an important cornerstone for professionals to build upon for infants with ABS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
