Motor Function Neurological Assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Neuromuscular Regulation Issues

Gorgio Rose

This article provides an overview of the experiences and research regarding the Motor Function Neurological Assessment (MFNU), which is used as an assessment tool in connection with ADHD in both children and adults. The problem of neuromuscular regulation in ADHD is assessed by the Motor Function Neurological Assessment.16 subtests have been developed over three decades to make up the instrument. The MFNU focuses on specific ADHD-related issues with neuromuscular regulation, particularly issues with motor inhibition and excessive muscle tone. Throughout the past 15 years, our research projects have used the MFNU as a research instrument to investigate possible connections between the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and issues with neuromuscular regulation. Additionally, we have investigated adult ADHD patients' reported pain. Between 2009 and 2013, each study was previously presented in separate articles and a doctoral thesis. According to the studies, the MFNU measures a consistent pattern of motor regulation issues in ADHD patients. The issues appear to be age-independent, can affect people with little or no dyscoordination or motor skills issues, and rarely affect people with ADHD. According to our findings, a single dose of 10 mg methylphenidate (MPH) typically results in significant improvements in muscular regulation in children with ADHD within one to two hours. When the MPH is metabolized, the issues return. With increasing problem scores on the MFNU, it appears that central stimulants have a greater chance of having a positive effect on the core behavioral symptoms of ADHD. According to our findings, there is a strong functional connection between the core symptoms of ADHD and the MFNU-specified muscular regulation issues. In addition, our research demonstrates that adults with ADHD experience significantly more severe and widespread pain than controls without ADHD. This could imply that pain is a long-term side effect of the ADHD condition's restricted movement and increased muscle tone.
