The Science
Direct Current Neuro Therapy (DCNT) technology has been available for 20+ years. It promotes lasting changes to the nervous system’s patterns, essentially creating neuroplasticity through the brain-body connection, resulting in optimal output and functionality.
This technology is beneficial to treat conditions including: relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, improving active range of motion, muscle reeducation, maintaining or increasing range of motion, and workout recovery.
How DCNT Utilizes Dual Electrical Signals to Increase Blood Flow
Motus Therapeutic Methods, Dr Vincent De Bono, DC CSCS
Emerging evidence has demonstrated that electrical stimulation can increase blood flow through changes in vessel size and increasing the blood flow velocity. This therapy has the unique ability to effect blood flow through both mechanisms.
The R-C Circuit And Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition
Motus Therapeutic Methods, Dr Vincent De Bono, DC CSCS
Sending an impulse in a waveform that is naturally generated by neurons (think RC circuit) but at a much higher rate than can generated by the body, 500 contractions per second, appears to have the effect of reestablishing feedback from the 1a fibers as demonstrated by the increased contraction strength encountered post ARP therapy.
ACL Rehabilitation Study
The Accelerated Recovery Performance (ARP) Trainer as a Method for Improving Rehabilitation Following ACL Reconstruction
John A. burns school of medicine
This study investigated the potential of ARP as an adjunct to physical therapy in order to achieve superior size and strength of the quadriceps femoris muscle group.
The study concluded that ARP rehabilitation protocol significantly improves the rehabilitation of the quadriceps femoris in the post-operative period with demonstrated potential advantage to restore strength of the quadriceps and retard disuse atrophy following ACL repair.
