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

Effects of the radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) on motor disorders: An integrative review

Introduction

The radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) is a technology that has the purpose of restoring the cellular polarity triggering the rebalancing of the endogenous bioelectric field, which considering the neurological dysfunctions, affects the neural communication mechanisms. The studies published so far show that the REAC neuromodulation technology has positive effects in treating these dysfunctions, with the principles of endogenous bioelectricity as a basis to achieve these effects.

Objectives

This study aims to review the literature that explored the effects of REAC protocols on motor control and to identify which mechanisms would be involved.

Materials and methods

This integrative review considered studies that used REAC as a therapeutic intervention directed at human motor control and experimental research with animals that applied REAC to obtain effects related to motor behavior.

Results

Ten articles were included, eight clinical and two experimental studies. The clinical studies used the neuro postural optimization (NPO) protocol in 473 patients, of which 53 were healthy subjects, 91 were Alzheimer's disease patients, 128 were patients with atypical swallowing, 12 subjects with neurological diseases, and 189 were without the specification of disease. The experimental studies used the antalgic neuromodulation and neurodegeneration protocols in animal models.

Conclusion

The information integrated in this review made it possible to consider REAC technology a promising resource for treating motor control dysfunctions. It is possible to infer that the technology promotes functional optimization of neuronal circuits that may be related to more efficient strategies to perform motor tasks.

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

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.
