When the central nervous system does not function normally and has adverse effects on brain functions; this situation is known as neurological dysfunction. Neuro engineering programs related to these issues were built by Dr. Curtis Cripe the founder of the NTL group Inc. in Scottsdale. These programs primarily deal with the diagnosis of such neurological dysfunctions and the treatment of the same.

Experts in neurology suggest that every individual has some level of dysfunction in their neurological system. This does not pose any problem for the individual till the time they cross the normal levels. It is only when the abnormal levels of this dysfunction begin to occur that the discomfort beings to settle in. until then it is not detrimental to the learning practices and the development of an individual.

This change of the nerves from a normal to an irritable position sends related messages to the brain. The brain may not always be able to process those messages effectively and thereby fail in its optimal functioning. This in turn consequently affects the acquisition of the skills; it may affect the rate of acquisition of the skill or inculcation of the skill set itself.

The causes of neurological dysfunction

Dr. Curtis Cripe in his expertise and experience shares his knowledge about the reasons why such neurological dysfunctions take place. The following are thus the causes of neurological dysfunction:

• Complications in pregnancy
• Complications in childbirth
• Trauma or illness
• Delayed or removed milestones of development

The signs and symptoms of neurological dysfunction

The identification of such malfunction of nerves is easier when the signs and symbols can be understood clearly. The following are the many signs that indicate the presence of some problem in the neurological system of an individual:

• Complain of constant headache
• A headache that keeps changing patterns’
• Double vision
• Seizures and tremors
• Loss of memory/amnesia
• Unclear speech
• Rigidity in the muscles
• Tingling sensation
• Impediment inability to think
• The problem in expression or understanding
• Weakness or fatigue

The results of neurological dysfunction

The main effect of neurological dysfunction is the disability to learn skills and other things. The ability to learn is diminished because of the disorders of the nerves. This is the reason, points out an expert in the subject Dr. Curtis Cripe that children with such defects fail to do the things that children with a normally functioning nervous system can do.

The lack of awareness among the adults sadly culminates in them mistaking this slow speed of children as their disinterestedness or laziness. It is unfortunate that taking this misconception forward such children are forced into doing things they genuinely find difficult to even process accurately.

Among the other negative impacts of this dysfunction is impairment in emotional functionality, communication, and social behavior. Through their observation of similar patients, experts have noticed the cases in which a trauma or an accident is the cause of such dysfunction, the individual affected by this fails to regain the previous suppleness and agility. They lose the finesse of their skills as collateral damage of such trauma.
