锘? He is also hyperactive. He has tantrums and can become
aggressive. He has difficulty with social situations. He can be very intelligent
in particular with regard to things that he enjoys such as dinosaurs and maps.
He is a picky eater. He has some sensitivity to sounds and dysgraphia.
Incidentally noted was a misalignment of the eyes. But was this misalignment of
the eyes really just an incidental finding or was it really a great clue as to
where this child's functional lesion originated from. We know that the number
one comorbidity associated with autism spectrum disorders is in coordination. We
know that the cerebellar and vestibular systems are intimately involved with
balance and coordination. We see that many children on the autism spectrum in
fact do have functional vestibular lesions as part of their problem and
presentation. So we can evaluate the child's neurologic system as well as his
vestibular system? Here are some things that we might look for. Are his eyes
misaligned at rest? Is there any change in the alignment of his eyes with eye
movement? Is there any involuntary movement of his eyes? Are his eye movements
smooth and not ratchet like? Is his head tilted or rotated? Does the tilt andor
rotation improve when he closes his eyes? Does the child get dizzy easily? If
you spin him in various directions Roy
Oswalt Astros Jersey , does he have an appropriate vestibular
response? By assessing function and determining where the issue lies, we can
begin to formulate a treatment plan that will stimulate that pathway that is
under functioning using the concepts of neural plasticity. In this case, we
determined that the muscle was functionally short. We determined that there was
an issue with the neurologic feedback system and the neurologic control of the
length of the muscle. There was an issue with all the neurologic inputs to the
muscle that help determine what it's normal resting length should be. By
addressing this functional vestibular lesion as well as other associated
neurological dysfunction that we were able to pick up on his examination, the
child has made other improvements which are more in line with what his parents
brought him in for. So we know that the eye misalignment was not his primary
complaint or what was a the greatest concern to his parents. However, it is an
interesting and observable window into the physiologic changes that can be made
with the appropriate functional treatment of his nervous system. That is to
say Preston
Tucker Astros Jersey , we cannot see the strengthening connections
from his vestibular nucleus to his cerebellum for example but we can see the
alignment of his eyes improving. This is what functional neurology is all about,
observation, understanding, application and observation again. There was another
clue in this child's history that made it apparent that this was a functional
lesion. This child had had three surgeries to correct the misalignment of his
eyes. That is, they would operate to address the length of the eye muscle. The
misalignment would correct temporarily and then return. This occurred three
times. This is a simple clue to the functional neurology practitioner that
indicates that the misalignment was not in fact a structurally short eye muscle
but a functionally short eye muscle. That is Nolan
Ryan Astros Jersey , that the muscle was shortened due to faulty
neurologic integration. What else are we seeing with this child? His
hyperactivity has improved, his temper tantrums have improved and he has not had
a bowel or bladder accident in several weeks. His teacher relates that this past
week was the first time that the child was able to do his writing work at
school. He wrote seven words. The teacher states that he is having improved
attention. He also played ball with his father for the first time in his life.
To explain how the vestibular system may be interrelated with issues such as
hyperactivity, tantrums and social deficiencies is beyond the scope of this
article. However, you can be aware that vestibular issues are common in children
with autism spectrum disorders. Manifestations of vestibular malfunctions such
as misalignment of the eyes may be related neurologically to symptoms being
expressed as autism spectrum disorder and not an unrelated incidental finding.
And now hopefully this is something you are aware of and can observe. Dr Nelson
Mane is a chiropractic physician certified in both chiropractic orthopedics and
neurology. He has sub specialty training in childhood neurobehavioral disorders
as well as vestibular disorders and electro diagnostics. He was one of 11
doctors out of 60,000 chosen by the American Chiropractic Association to start
the first Chiropractic neurology board back in 1989.Dr Mane is a D.A.N (Defeat
Autism Now) doctor. He is considered a pioneer in the use of Hemispheric
Integration Therapy for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders. For more
