Human Repair-Neurophysiology is a new discipline in medicine which is not organized and funded. It combines human anatomy, human neurophysiology and the repair of the human central nervous system. The repair of the human nervous system is achieved through movement-based learning. A therapy was developed, called Coordination Dynamics Therapy, which is based on the functioning of the human nervous system, measured by human electrophysiology. To explore the human nervous system by electrophysiological methods is logic because the nervous system is functioning mainly via voltages and currents. The repair of the injured, malfunctioning or degenerating nervous system is achieved through the improvement of the coordinated firing of neurons and the plasticity of the human nervous system. In animals, as for example the rat, repair is achieved through the nerve fiber growing strategy and in human through learning. The main difference between the animal and the human nervous system is the complexity of their neural networks. In animals the nervous system needs a few months to develop and in human nearly 20 years. Through the tremendous complexity of the human nervous system, the human neural networks can nearly learn everything, including its repair. Since the nervous system is involved in nearly all body functions, the repair or the improvement of neural network functioning improves health in general. Many diseases can be treated by coordination dynamics therapy.

In Chapter 1 a partial repair (regeneration) of the human spinal cord is achieved by movement-based learning. When in Chapter 2 an orthopedic surgeon tried to compete with the natural repair by an operation, the spinal cord injury patient got worse. Already Hippocrates had the opinion that the true healer is the body itself. In Chapter 3, a malformation or degeneration of the cerebellum and pons got partly repaired through movement-based learning and in Chapter 4 the basal ganglia and the cortex. All the patients were children. In boys and girls under 10 years of age nearly everything is possible through repair if the patients can be motivated to train at their limits. But how to motivate a child to train very hard. They want to play and not train something what they do not understand. Mothers are most successful to administer the therapy if they know what they have to train with their child.

In brain-injured patients the higher mental functions are most important to be repaired. According to the System Theory of Pattern Formation, there is learning transfer from movements to the cognitive functions. In Chapter 3 and 4 also the higher mental functions of the patients improved through learning.

To administer movement-based learning with 15 to 20 hours per week for a few years, the repair progress has to be measured to motivate the patient and be sure that the treatment works. When exercising on the special coordination dynamics therapy device, the improvement of the coordinated firing of neurons can also be measured by one value, namely the arrhythmicity of exercising. When a subject is exercising on a special coordination dynamics therapy device, the coordination between arm and leg movements changes from pace to trot gait. The central nervous system functioning is then measured by the arrhythmicity of exercising through ‘Movement Pattern Change’ according to the System Theory of Pattern Formation. The improvement of nervous system functioning can be judged by the coordination dynamics value and the improvement of movement patterns.

This progress in the repair of the human nervous system was achieved because of the development of the single-nerve fiber action potential recording method. By recording with two pairs of wire electrodes from thin sacral nerve roots in the cauda equina, it is measured simultaneously what impulse patterns are conducted into the central nervous system and what are conducted out of it; that means the functioning of the human nervous system can be analyzed under physiologic and pathologic conditions at the single-neuron level. It was measured that the phase and frequency coordination among neuron firings becomes impaired through injury, malformation and degeneration. By improving this organization principle of the human central nervous system, when exercising on the special coordination dynamics therapy device, and training movement patterns, especially movement automatisms, other parts of the brain will take function over by plasticity. The human nervous system can be repaired or improved in its functioning at all ages.

To live longer with a better quality of life by 10 to 20 years is already achieved now through coordination dynamics therapy because cardio-vascular performance and nervous system functioning can be improved and cancer grows inhibited.

The human neurophysiology is introduced for repairing spinal cord injuries. Based on the recordings with a new electrophysiologic method, the single-nerve fiber action potential recording method, and morphometry of nerve roots, a classification of human peripheral nerve fibers is developed and used for the identification of neurons from which was recorded to analyze spinal cord functions. The restrictions of basic human right are ethically only justified, if the mistakes of medical research of the past are uncovered and investments in infrastructure and implementation of the clinical research, apart from statistic, are executed. It will be analyzed in detail that the orthopedic surgeon operated without sufficient knowledge in human repair-neurophysiology, necessary especially in SCI. Sophies cerebellar and pons repair is compared with the repair of a traumatic cerebellar and pons injury and her repair-stimulated development is compared with the development of healthy children in the age range between 3 and 18 years, quantified by coordination dynamics values and the ontogenetic landscape for locomotion, based on the System Theory of Pattern formation. More causal cancer treatment is needed, including progress in genetics and epigenetics. Interdisciplinary research and treatment have to be improved. Existing conventional cancer treatment has to be administered more thoroughly.

In the Introduction, the human neurophysiology is introduced for repairing spinal cord injuries. Based on the recordings with a new electrophysiologic method, the single-nerve fiber action potential recording method, and morphometry of nerve roots, a classification of human peripheral nerve fibers is developed and used for the identification of neurons from which was recorded to analyze spinal cord functions. Simultaneous impulse patterns of several single neurons, evoked by natural stimulations, running in and out of the spinal cord, are used to analyze spinal cord functions under rather physiologic and pathologic conditions. By combining the electrophysiology with the “System Theory of Patterns Formation”, the movement-based learning method “Coordination Dynamics Therapy” (CDT) is developed to repair the human spinal cord. In the first part of the Results, the achieved repairs in spinal cord injury (SCI) through CDT are given in a group of patients and the single cases of 50% and 95% cervical SCI. In 50% SCI, urinary bladder functions, walking and running were repaired. In 95% SCI, bladder functions and trunk control were repaired, but free walking was not achieved. In the second part, first time in history, the regeneration of the human spinal cord of the 10-year-old Nefeli was measured by the re-innervation of segment-indicating muscles below the injury level of Th10. It turned out that most of the approximate one-year lasting regeneration time was needed to cross the injury site. Then, the fastest nerve fibers regenerated with a speed of 1mm/day down to the muscles. In the third part, details of the case report to repair the spinal cord by movement-based learning are given. Emphasis is put on the repair of the urinary bladder function, because its repair is most important for patients with SCI. In the Discussion, the deficits of animal research and clinics are given. Possible reasons for the regeneration of the human spinal cord may be that the power of regeneration is higher below an age of 10 and efficient aggressive treatment has to be administered continuously for more than one year. A permanent coma patient started to speak through 6 years of CDT with 20 hours efficient therapy per week.

By medical malpractice, the 5.5-years-old Nefeli suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) at Th10/11 levels. At an age of 9, through 4 years of Coordination Dynamics Therapy (CDT), she re-learned walking, running, jumping and became continent again. At an age of 14, an orthopedic surgeon made the family believe that the walking performance could substantially be improved by a leg operation. Against the strong advice of the Author ‘to avoid the operation’, because such operations in SCI reduce the plasticity, necessary for repair, the parents decided for the operation. Till 6 weeks after the operation, the patient could not move the legs anymore because of extreme flexor spasticity, rigor and cramps. 3.5 months after the operation, including 8 weeks of intensive CDT with the Author, she could move the legs a bit again, but could not walk freely. 6 months after the operation, she became able to walk a bit with orthoses and after 8 months she re-learned to walk a bit without orthoses. Through the operation, the patient lost approximately 2 years of movement-based learning therapy. It will be analyzed in detail that the orthopedic surgeon operated without sufficient knowledge in human repair-neurophysiology, necessary especially in SCI. The operation-induced extreme flexor spasticity made the standing and upright movements impossible. Only the Author was able, through administering CDT, to slowly reduce the extreme flexor spasticity and to make the SCI patient Nefeli walk again.

The cerebral palsy girl Sophie had from birth an atrophy of the cerebellum and ponds. At an age of 5.5, Coordination Dynamics Therapy was started. At the beginning, Sophie was incontinent and her speech was very poor. She could not stand, walk, run or jump. When falling, her protection automatism patterns were not working. The first fundamental progress in repair was achieved when the protection automatisms appeared in Sophie at an age of 6.5 years. The parents were not so much afraid anymore when trying to make her walking and Sophie tried now to walk by herself. The protection automatisms became operational at a time when she became able to exercise by herself on a special coordination dynamics therapy device. When the protection automatism occurred, the learning to walk became much easier and less risky. Sophie was not afraid anymore to fall and she tried herself now to walk without falling and she liked it. At an age of 8 she was able to walk without falling. Sophie’s trot gait crawling improved. The pace gait crawling became possible with poor performance. At an age of 9, Sophie could creep, crawl, upright, walk, jump and play with a ball. She was fully continent. Her speech had improved, so that the Author started to understand her. Her writing got better and her higher mental functions improved. She still had some problems with the balance, but she managed without falling. She was not able to run. The mother, teacher by herself, taught her at home. Through 6 years of CDT, at an age of 12 years, Sophie could fully manage the balance. She became able to run and jump freely and walk to a 1km distant supermarket for shopping.

Sophies cerebellar and pons repair is compared with the repair of a traumatic cerebellar and pons injury and her repair-stimulated development is compared with the development of healthy children in the age range between 3 and 18 years, quantified by coordination dynamics values and the ontogenetic landscape for locomotion, based on the System Theory of Pattern formation. Sophie could not fully catch-up so far with the normal development. Further therapy is needed. The health of normal pupils could be enhanced if the training on the special coordination dynamics therapy device would be included in school sport.

The patient Alen suffered at birth an insult and an asphyxia with the consequence of a sustained cerebral hemiplegia on the left side, a parenchyma defect of the basal ganglia and a degeneration of a pyramidal tract. At an age of 12 years coordination dynamics therapy was started.

Most functions were impaired in Alen. He could not use the left hand, which is a disability of 50%. But he could walk and run with deficits. Through 6 months of coordination dynamics therapy, creeping, crawling, walking and running became nearly normal. He learned to jump in-phase and in anti-phase. Most importantly, he learned left hand functions, including the power and precision grip, and could use them for everyday life. His cognitive functions improved. He could better learn at school. What main stream medicine did not achieve in 12 years; coordination dynamics therapy succeeded in 6 months.
