Evaluation of Novel Biofeedback in Changes of Acvitation of the Trapezius
نویسندگان
چکیده
Work-related chronic neck pain is a growing disorder in the United States that accounts for approximately 60% of all occupational disabling injuries [1]. Neck pain is linked to continuous and excessive activation in the upper trapezius (UT) muscle [2]. An effective treatment for chronic neck pain may be to reduce activation in the UT through an inferior shift in the muscle activity to the middle (MT) and lower trapezius (LT).

MR defecography: a diagnostic test for the evaluation of pelvic floor motion in patients with dyssynergic defecation after biofeedback therapy
Background: Dyssynergic defecation is a major cause of chronic functional constipation as a common digestive complaint. We clinically evaluated the effects of biofeedback therapy on the pelvic floor motion indices through magnetic resonance (MR) defecography, quality of life and depression in patients with dyssynergic defecation. Methods : In this clinical trial study, among pa...
متن کاملGenerating the Visual Biofeedback Signals Applicable to Reduction of Wrist Spasticity: A Pilot Study on Stroke Patients
Introduction: Application of biofeedback techniques in rehabilitation has turned into an exciting research area during the recent decade. Providing an appropriate visual or auditory biofeedback signal is the most critical requirement of a biofeedback technique. In this regard, changes in Surface Electromyography (SEMG) signals during wrist movement can be used to generate an indictable visual b...
