Method for the diagnosis and recovery of reflex muscular activity
1. A method for the diagnosis and recovery of reflex muscular activity comprising:
– examination and interview of the subject,
– the detection of damaged receptor zones and the related associated muscles with impaired reflex activity by testing,
– preliminary diagnosis of the primary receptor zone with impaired reflex activity by applying to it a single stimulus of a damaging modality, during which a temporary recovery of the reflex activity of the associated muscles with impaired reflex activity is diagnosed,
– the selection of an indicator muscle and clamping the tendon of the muscle involved in the pattern of the step,
– searching for the primary receptor zone with impaired reflex activity and determining a stimulus of a damaging modality for it,
– check whether the primary receptor zone and the stimulus of the damaging modality for it are correctly determined,
– searching for the compensatory receptor zone with impaired reflex activity and determining the stimulus of a damaging modality for it,
– stimulation of the primary receptor and compensatory receptor zones
and recovery of reflex muscle activity,
wherein the primary and compensatory zones are searched for by exposing the region of the receptor zones and associated muscles with impaired reflex activity to single and/or double stimuli of a damaging modality; wherein the primary zone is searched for by applying a single stimulus of a damaging modality to the previously diagnosed primary receptor zone; and the hyporeflexia of the indicator muscle is used to determine whether the primary zone is determined correctly; after that, the tendon of the muscle involved in the pattern of the step is released; and when a double damaging stimulus is applied to the primary receptor zone, the hyporeflexia of the indicator muscle is used to determine whether the stimulus of a damaging modality is selected correctly; a compensatory zone is searched for with the tendon clamped by applying a single stimulus of a damaging modality to the region of receptor zones and associated muscles with impaired reflex activity during the application of a double stimulus of damaging modality to the primary receptor zone, the disappearance of the hyporeflexia of the indicator muscle is used to determine whether the compensatory receptor zone is determined correctly; the temporary recovery of the normal myotatic reflex of the indicator muscle is used to determined whether the stimulus of a damaging modality is selected correctly is determined for the compensatory receptor zone; the primary and compensatory zones are stimulated by the simultaneous application of the stimuli of a damaging modality determined for them, during which a deep tendon reflex is provoked.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein during the examination and interview of the subject, complaints of pain are established, injured receptor zones with impaired activity are detected, pain symptoms are assessed on a scale of 1 to 10, the mobility and stability of joint are assessed, the symmetry of body regions is assessed, pain symptoms are assessed with a change in body position (when lying down, sitting, standing, in a passive and active movement).
3. The method according to claim 2, wherein scars of any origin however long ago sustained, tattoos, piercings, head areas after injuries and contusions, areas of any fractures on the body, burns, frostbite, laser correction, removed skin warts (mole-marks, blotches), the dento-facial system after any dental interventions, any areas after cosmetic surgery, including injections, ligaments, tendons, cranial sutures, joints (joint receptors), skin damaged by dry tetters or other skin diseases, mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and genitals, areas after any physiotherapeutic treatment – vibration, heat, cold, areas in contact with chemical irritants, insect stings, snake bites, areas in contact with cold air, tongue, the ocular mucous membrane are identified as injured receptor areas with impaired activity.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein examining a subject can also involve analyzing the data of X-ray studies for structural pathologies.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein examining the subject involves differential diagnosis.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the testing for determining associated muscles with impaired reflex activity is performed by muscle test and/or electromyography.
7. The method according to claim 1, wherein during the preliminary diagnosis of the primary receptor zone with impaired reflex activity, a single stimulus of a damaging modality is applied to it in the form of stroking or applying pressure.
8. The method according to claim 1, wherein for searching for the primary receptor and compensatory receptor zones, a single or double stimulus of a damaging modality is selected from the group consisting of: pressure, vibration, rough touch, delicate touch, pricking, tickling, scratching, surface and deep pressure, stretching, cold, heat, abrasion, blowing air, direction of light to the eyes, odor, taste, sound, a limb movement.
9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the tendon of the muscle involved in the pattern of the step is selected from the group consisting of: the tendon of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the tendon of the rectus muscle of thigh, the biceps tendon, the Achilles tendon.
10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the primary receptor and compensatory receptor zones are searched for with two reciprocal tendons clamped.
11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the primary and compensatory zones are repeatedly exposed to stimuli of a damaging modality selected for them and a deep tendon reflex is provoked.
12. The method according to claim 1, wherein any muscle that is not associated with muscles with impaired reflex activity is selected as an indicator muscle.
13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the indicator muscle is a muscle selected from the group consisting of: the rectus muscle of thigh, biceps muscle of the arm, the deltoid muscle.
14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the deep tendon reflex is provoked by a small hammer or hand.
15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the primary receptor and compensatory receptor zones wherein mechanoreceptors and/or nociceptors are damaged are searched for and stimulated.
