Clinical Impact of Neuropostural and Neuromuscular Optimization Protocols With Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) Technology in Older Adults With Femoral Fractures: An Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFemoral fractures in the elderly often result in long-lasting disability. Standard rehabilitation may fail to address neurofunctional alterations such as functional dysmetria (FD), which limit optimal motor recovery. This study evaluates the clinical utility of Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) neuromodulation protocols, Neuro Postural Optimization (NPO) and Neuro Muscular Optimization (NMO), as adjuncts to standard rehabilitation in elderly patients post femoral fracture surgery.
methodsThis observational study was conducted at Casa di Cura Villa Fiorita (59100, Prato, Italy), within a clinical-scientific collaboration program with the Rinaldi Fontani Institute. Fourteen elderly patients (mean age 81.7 years) received one NPO session, followed by 10 NMO sessions in conjunction with standard physiotherapy. A matched historical control group (n = 14) received only conventional therapy. Assessed parameters included the Barthel Index (BI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, FD presence, and hospital length of stay. Statistical analysis used paired/unpaired t-tests (p < 0.05).
resultsFD was completely resolved in all REAC-treated patients following the single NPO session. This neurobiological modulation likely restores subcortical and cerebellar network homeostasis, enabling symmetrical motor output. The NMO protocol supported neuromotor pattern optimization throughout recovery. Compared to controls, the REAC group achieved significantly greater improvements in BI (+47.1 vs. +38.1 points,
conclusionsThe integration of REAC NPO and NMO protocols into conventional rehabilitation enhanced motor symmetry, pain control, and recovery speed. These findings justify further randomized trials and suggest REAC neuromodulation as a valuable, non-invasive, and scalable strategy in orthopedic rehabilitation.
