Leonid Blyum (Rusia, enero de 1973) is a mathematician and biomechanist, founder of the ABR Therapy and founding member of the Biotensegrity Interest Group. He graduated in 1992 from the University of Novosibirsk, as a Mathematician, specializing in mathematical models of complex systems. He studied the structure and function of the human body, more specifically in spinal disorders and joint deformities, He specialized in the manual treatment of these disorders at his father’s clinic, who is a physician. From 1996 to 2000, Leonid Blyum taught applied biomechanics and manual therapy to postgraduate doctors in Moscow. As a result of study and experience, he developed the belief that soft tissue deformities could be best treated using quasi-static manual therapy and his personal work in the field of scoliosis and other musculoskeletal deformities showed his quasi-static method to be effective. He expanded his research field to the rehabilitation of patients with neurological damage suffering from general motor disorders and deformities. Achieving significant motor recovery at this level of complexity proved to be a very labour intensive process, and it required a radical change of strategy. Therefore, he decided to teach his technique directly to the parents of children with cerebral palsy so that they could do the required work in their own homes, transforming ABR in a home-based therapy innovative in its field. Currently,, ABR has presence in five continents and Leonid Blyum continues to develop new tools to improve the effectiveness of his method. Papers Drewes E, Driscoll M, Blyum L, Vincentz D.
