Baby at Birth

At birth, child’s brain is not equipped with anticipatory postural circuits and connections in postural centers this makes him dependent for his safety at birth.

Centre Of Mass- [COM] safety

Baby at birth, cannot control or restore his COM to safety from within.

Postural MilestonesAs the baby’s brain and body grows to develop different postural milestones from head holding to sitting, crawling, standing, and bipedal walking he gets equipped with anticipatory postural control and gets connected to gravity with automatic control on balance safety.

Paretic muscles• Child with brain lesion is unable to

connect to gravity spatiotemporally effectively. • His postural milestones get delayed.• Gravity constantly topples him down

when Paretic muscles are unable to generate enough force to control and restore his COM to safety.

Brain finds its own solution!• As child is unable to control and restore

his COM to safety, constant invariant gravitational force makes him constantly unsafe.

• Self-organizing brain reacts to find solution for safety without waiting for any external help as, safety from falling [safety of COM] is a priority for all living beings.

Anticipatory postural controlChild with delayed milestone + paretic weak muscles + inability to control and restore his COM to safety looses out on….. Timely opportunity of inlaying anticipatory postural connectivity among postural centers of brain critical to much needed automatic safety.

Increasing body massChild’s body mass grows with growing chronological age. This makes it still harder for the child with delayed milestone and weak under developed paretic muscles to safeguard his balance against the toppling force of gravity. This triggers negative vicious circle.

Self-organizing brain

Self-organizing brain automatically continues to attempt to prioritize safety from falling using different resources from within when muscle force is not available and when postural motor milestones remain delayed by acting optimally and economically.Safety from falling [safety of COM] is a priority for all living beings.

Negative contributionJourney of Self-organizing brain towards negative contribution begins when it outsources alternative tools available within in abundance, that could provide indirect safety by restricting movement to defend COM, especially when controlling and restoring COM to safety is not possible with paretic under developed muscles.

ContractureAlternative tools are connective tissue and fascia available in abundance that connect everything in the body to everything else at a distance and also bind fibers of muscles from inside out thereby easily bind multilinked body into a log like structure with contracture that could restrict movement thereby indirectly defend COM.

Negative compounding effect

Restriction on movement from contracture + delayed milestones + paretic muscles + inability to control COM, all these has compounding negative effect on brain’s ability of inlaying of anticipatory postural connectivity post birth critical for automatic control of COM safety.

Log like structureSelf-organizing brain relentlessly continues to move on in its journey for automatic safety by not letting body to develop postural milestone and turning body into log like structure with contracture that restricts movements in multilinked body in self defense to prioritize safety..

Internal v/s ExternalThis internal journey of brain to develop contracture does not stop despite huge external human efforts put in to manually stretch contracture, use Botox on under developed contracted wasted muscle sheet or child going under surgical knife.

Coax the brain for its priorityBrain continues its negative journey and child gets trapped in for ever to become a CP child unless brain is coaxed to act for its priority safety of COM from within so that child grows, develops muscles, inlays anticipatory postural control and leaves behind negative contribution; ‘contracture and stiffness’ with Vasa Concept.

You can do it.

You can prevent contractures and stiffness and prevent body from turning into a log like structure.
