ABR OBJECTIVE
|
|
- Restoration of motor functions in a spontaneous way through the rebuilding of the musculoskeletal structure and the restoration of bio-electrical signals flowing between the muscles and the brain.
|
|
ABR's main objective is to restore motor functions in brain injured people.
|
|
However, ABR distinguishes itself from all other approaches, conventional as well as alternative ones, by one critical factor: While all tend to focus on the functional training of a brain injured person - attempting to achieve the optimal function despite the poor structural qualities of the musculoskeletal system - ABR asks an altogether different question: "How to normalize the musculoskeletal system?"
|
|
ABR is the only approach that does not focus on "managing" the child's limitations. Its aim is "reversing" poor mechanical integration in order to permit spontaneous development of movement.
|
|
While it is commonly believed that a brain injured person needs specific training of his/her motor function - trying to make "better use" of a structurally deficient musculoskeletal system - ABR shows that true biomechanical structural improvement of the musculoskeletal system automatically converts into motor function progress, eliminating any need of specific training to perform motor tasks. Motor function develops as a "spontaneous" result of structural normalization.
|
|
ABR considers that the information necessary for biomechanical rehabilitation is "written" on the musculoskeletal system directly, and therefore the instrumental methods of diagnostics (MRI, X-rays, EEG, EMG etc.) are only of supplementary value compared with the physical assessment.
