I like the concept. The label, however, may be in competition with other definitions.
These are the results for a Google search of "neurologic torque."
AI Overview
"Neurologic torque" can refer to cerebral torque, a pattern of human brain asymmetry, or the Torque Release Technique (TRT), a specific chiropractic method. Cerebral torque is the anticlockwise twist of the human brain, meaning the right frontal lobe protrudes forward and the left occipital lobe protrudes backward, a feature not found in chimpanzees. TRT is a chiropractic adjustment that uses a low-force, high-speed instrument to address spinal subluxations and promote nervous system function without traditional cracking or popping.
Crucial is understanding, however we call it, we are using the balance system to apply torques to the sensory strategies to help the CNS compensate. We are not just using these exercises for fall risk seniors. Gait training in this sense isn't just to make their balance better - it is inducing torques to help the CNS relegate the conflict.
