Neuro Postural Optimization Neuromodulation Treatment of Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer Technology on Stress and Quality of Life in Institutionalized Children in a Capital City of the Brazilian Amazon

Abstract

Background The deviation from perfect bilateral symmetry is defined as fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and is a common phenomenon among living organisms. This deviation from perfection is thought to reflect the environmental pressures experienced during development and, therefore, the FA represents an epigenetic measure of the environmental stress, which affects all living beings from conception, progressively affecting all aspects of life. Rinaldi and Fontani hypothesized that the FA morpho-functional changes are originated by an adaptive motor behavior determined by functional alterations in the cerebellum and neural circuits, not caused by a lesion, but induced by the experienced environmental stress. They identified in the asymmetric activation of symmetrical muscle groups, detectable even in healthy subjects, the expression of the dysfunctional adaptation state of the subject and named this clinical semeiotic phenomenon functional dysmetria (FD). On these premises, they developed the radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) technology, a neuromodulation technology aimed at optimizing the best neuro-psycho-motor strategies in relation to environmental interaction. Neuro postural optimization (NPO) is a neurobiological stimulation treatment administered with the REAC technology and it has been specifically studied to treat the state of dysfunctional adaptation that is revealed through the presence of FD. Aim The purpose of this study was to verify whether a single administration of the REAC NPO treatment can trigger the improvement of the capacity of stress management and the quality of life in a population of children housed in a group home in Macapá, Brazil. Materials and methods The sample of this study consisted of nine children (six boys and three girls) in the age group of 6-11 years, which represented the totality of the children present in the structure. The children was investigated for the assessment of the presence of functional dysmetria and with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM 4.0 (PedsQL) before and one week after the administration of the REAC NPO. Results The stable disappearance of FD was found in all children at follow-up. In addition, improvements were found in stress management and quality of life, in the physical, emotional, social, and scholastic aspects evaluated with PedsQL. Conclusions It was seen that the REAC NPO neurobiological modulation treatment induced the stable disappearance of FD and triggered the initial improvement of neurophysical aspects also in a population of children housed in a group home in the Amazon region of Macapá, Brazil.

Improving Functional Abilities in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Non-Invasive REAC Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization Treatments: A PEDI-CAT Study

“…The REAC Neuro Postural Optimization (NPO) treatment is a one-session neurobiological modulation technique that aims to optimize endogenous bioelectric activity (EBA) and cerebral electro-metabolic activity, resulting in long-lasting greater efficiency and functionality compared to previous modifications induced by dysfunctional adaptations [ 18 , 27 , 28 ]. The primary clinical outcome of NPO treatment is an immediate and long-lasting correction/disappearance of functional dysmetria and sustained improvement in motor strategies and balance [ 19 , 29 ].…”

REAC Neurobiological Modulation as a Precision Medicine Treatment for Fibromyalgia

“…REAC Neuro Postural Optimization (NPO) is a single-session non-invasive neurobiological modulation treatment [ 27 , 90 ] designed to improve postural control and stability through the modulation of the neurobiological system [ 27 , 28 , 46 ]. This therapy is based on the principle that the central nervous system (CNS) plays a critical role in maintaining postural stability and controlling movement [ 91 ].…”

“…This therapy is based on the principle that the central nervous system (CNS) plays a critical role in maintaining postural stability and controlling movement [ 91 ]. By enhancing the function of the CNS, REAC NPO aims to optimize postural control and stability [ 38 , 73 , 75 ], which can help alleviate various musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic pain, muscle imbalances, and postural distortions, and improve the overall quality of life [ 90 ].…”

Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) Neurobiological Stimulation Treatments in Dysfunctional Motor Behavior in Flail Arm Syndrome: A Case Report

“…The patient was also examined for the presence of functional dysmetria [ 10 , 11 , 15 ] (FD), which manifests itself as an asymmetrical activation of symmetrical muscle groups, in our case at the level of the quadriceps femoris. FD can be related to acquired disorganization of the neuro-psycho-motor control in relation to the allostatic load [ 16 , 17 ]. The observed FD was approximately 8 centimeters, far exceeding the mean values observed in the general population.…”
