How does NIS obtain information from the brain?
Muscles in the body should at all times be able to resist a given force. This is normal when integrity of the sensory-motor loop exists. NIS employs a series of sequential and prioritised steps to determine congruence between the brain and certain neurological centres. These centres may be derived from cortical, spinal, visceral and glandular circuits. Some centres are activated with patient participation. If neurological confusion dominates, the information referred via the sensory-motor loop will produce gross muscle weakness of any muscle elected for testing. The post central gyrus is linked to restore appropriate control of the sensory-motor loop, giving back control to the testing muscle. In doing so normal neurological activity and homeostatic mechanisms are restored to the centres being assessed.
