We perform an analysis of brain-neuromuscular synchronization and coupling strength in muscular
dystrophy before and after NPT treatment. In order to estimate with accuracy the level of brain
synchronization, we introduce and use the method of the cross GMI that was elaborated by Pompe.
The finality is to account for the nonlinear chaotic dynamic contributions that regulate the dynamics.
We find that this method is excellent and it may be applied in such case of sEMG and EEG study as
well as at a general neurological level. By it we arrive to quantify the coupling strength and
synchronization first between two muscular sections (left and right trapezes) and after between Brain
activity, as recorded by the EEG, and the trapezes. We compare the results before and after the NPT
treatment and we find that the improvement obtained following such treatment is very consistent. We
have now in progress other studies relating in particular the application of such new methodologies to
other more serious pathologies as the HSP (Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia).
