Physiological Markers and Reflex Pattern Progression in Individuals with Neurodevelopmental Deficits Utilizing the MNRI Method

Abstract

The physiological markers of 310 individuals aged 2 through 19 were evaluated for the effects of the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration Method on their four body systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems of individuals with neurodevelopmental deficits-cerebral palsy (CP), seizures, traumatic and acute brain injury, attention deficit and hyperactive disorders (ADD, ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, post-trauma and post-traumatic stress disorders. We found that 53.33% of physiological markers and 66.67% of reflex patterns on the pre-test demonstrated to be poorly functioning. Both evaluation results showed statistically significant improvements after 8-days of intensive training using the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration Method. Improvements according to 60.0% of the physiological markers positively correlated with functionality gains in 77.5% of reflex patterns in all four study groups compared to the control group, which did not receive the Reflex Integration training program (p-value < 0.05). The magnitude of improvement depended upon the severity of symptoms indicating the essentiality for individualized training in accordance with the diagnosis and individual neurological deficits. Results of this study show that reflex integrative techniques can lead to a reduction of stress and other negative factors blocking health homeostasis, limiting perception, and causing dysregulation in behavior and emotions, especially fol

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Effect of MNRI Reflex Neuromodulation on Children Diagnosed with Autism Based on Reflex Assessments, QEEG Analysis and ATEC Questionnaire

“…A statistically significant reduction in EEG activity for High Beta (25-30 Hz) has been demonstrated. Changes close to being statistically significant were seen for Beta3 (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). There were no statistically significant differences for the remaining frequency bands.…”

“…Table 1, The Reflex Assessment's main orientation is determining if feedback responses within the reflex physiological circuits are proper to the given genetic motor pattern [21]. The level of maturity of a reflex affects the brain, which influences, in its turn, the development of the motor, social, emotional skills, and other factors [22,23]. Statistical analysis of the results of Reflex Assessment was carried out to create Reflex Profiles for children with ASD to identify strategies for neurodevelopment corrective work for them.…”

“…Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration is an effective composition of tools for conducting a holistic neurodevelopment therapy for children with autism [22,33,39,64] and other disorders [19,34,65,66]. The therapeutic effects of MNRI therapy have been checked using objective independent assessment tools prior and after the 8-day rehabilitation cycle.…”

Reversal of Autism Symptoms among Dizygotic Twins through a Personalized Lifestyle and Environmental Modification Approach: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Trans-disciplinary referrals and specialized therapies helped the parents access complementary structural and functional supports for their twins. The girls had the most sessions of any intervention during the time of this reporting with an occupational therapist who focused on the specialized technique of neuro-sensory motor reflex integration [ 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 ] to support the integration process of primary motor reflex patterns and encourage nervous system regulation. This technique is believed to help reengage inhibited neural pathways or facilitate the activation of alternate neural pathways.…”
