Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) Neurobiological Stimulation Treatments in Dysfunctional Motor Behavior in Flail Arm Syndrome: A Case Report
Abstract
Flail arm syndrome (FAS) is a variant of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that manifests itself with the progressive loss of motor control of the upper limbs starting from the proximal part. Both electrophysiological and magnetic resonance studies have shown that functional alterations in the subcortical structures, cerebellum, and cortex are present in this pathology. These alterations appear to play a significant component in determining cognitive, motor, and behavioral effects. To try to modulate these alterations, in this case report, we used three noninvasive and specific neuromodulation treatments of the Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) technology. The Neuro Postural Optimization (NPO), the Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization (NPPO), and the Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization Cervico-Brachial (NPPO-CB) with the aim of improving motor control, depression, anxiety, and stress. At the end of the treatment cycle that lasted five consecutive days, the patient regained the ability to raise his arms, a capacity he had lost for several months. This case demonstrates that REAC neurobiological modulation treatments aimed at improving dysfunctional neuropsychomotor behavior (DNPMB) can be useful in highlighting and reducing these components, allowing for better evaluation of the real neurodegenerative damage and determination of a better quality of life for these patients.
