2. 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.

3. Centre Of Mass- [COM] safety
Baby at birth, cannot
control or restore his
COM to safety from
within.

4. Postural Milestones
As 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Anticipatory postural control
Child 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.

8. Increasing body mass
Child’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.

9. 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.

10. Negative contribution
Journey 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.

11. Contracture
Alternative 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.

12. 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.

13. Log like structure
Self-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..

14. Internal v/s External
This 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.

15. Coax the brain for its priority
Brain 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.

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