Scientific Documentation and Analysis of the Autonomic Regulation in a Case of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Post Ken Ware NeuroPhysics Therapy

This is a study on autonomic neuroscience. In a previous paper in Ware et al. [1], we studied a
subject affected from facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy before and after Ken Ware
NeuroPhysics Therapy (NPT). Using the non linear methodology of the Generalized Mutual
Information (GMI) analysis of Sensory Motor Rhythm, we produced detailed results evidencing that
the mentioned NPTinvolved a net improvement of the patient under his subjective psychological
condition, and in particular, under the neurological and sensory motor profile. We quantified with
accuracy the improvement that the subject realized during such treatment. Of course, previous
studies of several authors have evidenced that muscular dystrophies are strongly linked to a profound
ANS disfunction. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the ANS of the subject before
and after the treatment. We performed analysis in time as well as in frequency domains using
nonlinear methods. The basic result of the paper was that, according to our analysis, the subjects
started with a serious ANS disfunction before NPT and that a net improvement was obtained after this
therapy. The results of all the examined parameters that were strongly out of normal range before the
treatment verified they had returned within normal range post NPT.
