International Conference on
Coordination Dynamics Therapy to repair the human CNS and measure repair progress
Schalow G
Tartu University, Estonia
Coordination dynamics therapy (CDT) is a
movement-based learning therapy with which it
is possible to partly repair the human CNS. Following
CNS injury, the phase and frequency coordination of
CNS self-organization becomes impaired and has
to be repaired. This can be achieved by exercising
coordinated arm and leg movements on a special
CDT device. Further, creeping, crawling, walking,
running, jumping and other movements have to
be trained so that other parts of the brain can
take function over by plasticity. Most CNS injuries,
malformations and degeneration can be treated,
including spinal cord injury, brain injury, cerebral
palsy and Parkinson’s disease. By learning transfer
from movements, vegetative and higher mental
functions can be repaired including impaired urinary
bladder functions (continence). The repair progress
can be measured objectively by movement pattern
change when exercising on a special CDT device.
When performing the different coordinated armand
leg movement patterns, imposed by the device, the
computer quantifies the arrhythmicity of exercising
of the patient by a single value. Plotting these values
over months and years during treatment, repair
progress can be made visible objectively.
Speaker Biography
Schalow G studied electronics (Dipl Ing, 1963) and worked 2 years
as a technical engineer at Bosch Electronics. Afterwards he studied
theoretical physics at the Free University of Berlin (1970) and worked
at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute for Nuclear Physics and promoted in
1973 (PhD). From 1975 to 1977, he was post doc with Katz, Huxley
and R Miledi at the Institute of Biophysics, University College London.
At the Saarland University from 1977 to 1983, he was assistant at the
physiological institute and studied medicine (MD). From 1985 to 1992, he
was research assistant at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-University of Greifswald
(neurosurgery, pathology, neuro-traumatology). From 1992 to 1998, he
was leading doctor for clinical research at the Swiss Paraplegic Center
Nottwil. From 1998 to 2003, he was working in the field of neuro-
traumatology at Tampere and Turku University, Finland. From 2003, he
was guest professor at Tartu University (Estonia) and afterwards private
researcher because human neurophysiology and clinical research in not
organized.Hehas100publications inthefieldsofhumanneurophysiology
and clinical research and can partly repair the human brain.
