نویسنده
چکیده
Over recent years electromyography (EMG) biofeedback units have become more widely available to physiotherapists and success has been reported in the literature with their use in treating certain musculoskeletal conditions (Wise et al , 1984). This paper intends to review EMG briefly, describing what it is and how it can be interpreted and in the light of this what EMG biofeedback is capable of demonstrating with regard to the activity of the muscles examined.
