On the weekend of September 20 - 21, 2003 at an Applied Neurology Seminar with presenters Dr. Dan Murphy and Dr. Richard Amy, EBR and Myo-Logic Diagnostics did a random trial to prove the effectiveness of the “EBR” Ionic Foot Spa.
Doctors were asked to participate in the trial by doing a pre and post check of muscle strength using the MSM 7000 Musculoskeletal Metrics, along with a standard ionic foot spa treatment.

 The Doctors first received a Computerized Comparative Muscle Strength Test (CCMT) procedure that was performed in order to determine asymmetry in muscle strength and to quantify muscle strength loss as noted on the subjective muscle strength test.  These muscle strength losses of the upper and/or lumbar extremities indicate neurological facilitation resulting from trauma to the cervical and/or lumbar spine.

The Doctors were then given a standard “EBR” Ionic Foot Spa treatment followed by a post CCMT re-evaluation using the MSM 7000 to determine if any change in strength occurred.  (See summary and chart below)

Results:  The “EBR” Ionic Foot Spa demonstrates the ability to improve Neurologic Facilitation by increasing muscle strength, which is the Gold Standard for any therapeutic device.  Muscle Strength testing is an intricate part of any examination as described in the 5th edition of the AMA’s guide to Evaluation of Permanent Impairment.
