Event Abstract Back to Event Retropulsion: Presentation, Diagnosis and Applications of Functional Neurology Gilbert S. Jaudy1* 1 Jaudy Treatment Center, United States A 45-year-old male presented to our office, complaining of frequent and constant seizures since 2000, that happen when he assumes any sitting or standing position, and sometimes spontaneous. He also reported a history of falls, injuries, muscle spasms, balance problems, stomachaches, osteoarthritis, eye pain, blurred vision, vertigo, belching, gas, gallbladder removal, depression, light-headedness, headaches, dizziness, itching, back/neck/shoulder/arm/knee/ankle pain, allergies, painful joints, swollen joints, migraines, and extreme fatigue. He’s on different types of medications. He has seen about 15 physicians for his condition, and was told that he had to get used to it and manage it. On 03/15/2017 during consultation with Dr. Jaudy at Jaudy Treatment Center, the patient had a 10 minute spastic seizure which was described by her husband as “that’s what happens almost all day long”. Methods The patient had undergone a neurological examination in stages, information was obtained when the patient was still for moments. Standard neurological tests and diagnostics including VNG and posturography were obtained. She had general sensory and motor deficiency. Posterior center of pressure with left deviation. Severe spastic myoclonus on lower extremities. During seizure patient developed decerebrate posturing on the right side, and decorticate posturing on the left, in addition to bilateral positive Babinski and Hoffman signs. The patient had slow and irregular pursuits with loss of gaze. A slow systemic Functional Neurology approach was implemented using various sensory and motor, orthostatic postural positions and applications, organ remapping procedures, visual and auditory stimulation, cerebellar activation, complex therapeutic activities, home instructions and dietary changes. Results The patient responded favorably during the first week. First visit post testing revealed immediate improvement and resolution of pathological reflexes (Babinski’s and Hoffman’s). Post first treatment testing showed immediate improvement in motor and sensory function on the left side vs. the right, and reduction of frequency and duration of seizures. The patient was treated for 3 months. Today he lives symptom free, migraine free, and enjoys life with family and friends.
