[Purpose] The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of visual biofeedback using ulatrasonography on the functional improvement of deep trunk muscle. [Subjects and Methods] This study selected ten healthy people without orthopedic history and information on the study. The average ages, heights, and weights were 22.70 ± 2.06 years old, 171.15 ± 9.18 cm, and 66.86 ± 8.88 kg in the e...

AIMS In 40 patients, we attempted to investigate the efficacy of electromyography-biofeedback (EMG-B) on quadriceps muscle strength after arthroscopic meniscectomy. METHODS The patients were randomly divided into two groups each consisting of 20 subjects. For the control group, a classical exercise program was given (five sessions of EMG-B application for 2 weeks postoperatively). Range of mo...

OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of biofeedback with those of active exercise and passive treatment in treating work-related neck and shoulder pain. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial with 3 intervention groups and a control group. SETTING Participants were recruited from outpatient physiotherapy clinics and a local hospital. PARTICIPANTS All participants reported consistent neck and s...

Purpose One of the main causes long-term prosthetic abandonment is lack ownership over prosthesis, which was caused mainly by absence sensory information regarding lost limb. The period where patient learns how to interact with a device critical in rehabilitation. This ideally happens within first months after amputation, also associated consolidation brain changes. Different studies have shown...

The radial nerve divides into two terminal branches the superficial and posterior interosseous nerve. Posterior entrapment is associated with weakness in extension of fingers, atrophy forearm muscles, localized pain lateral aspect elbow proximal without sensory deficits. A 37-year-old man complained difficulty right finger (MMT 2) persistent (VAS 5) at after a fall from motorcycle six months be...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although surgery has been widely accepted as the treatment of choice for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), there has recently been an increased interest in the conservative management of this condition. The aims of this study were to test the ability of a biofeedback-assisted pelvic-floor muscle exercise (PFME) program to affect symptoms of SUI in premenopausal women and...

To tackle the limits of the literature investigating biofeedback training in children with secondary dystonia, the current study employs a wearable and silent EMG-based biofeedback device that aims at improving control over the impaired muscle by providing the patient with a vibration proportional to muscle activation. The device is tested on two children with secondary dystonia due to dyskinet...

The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of using electromyographic biofeedback in the early stages of rehabilitation after meniscal repair. In this randomised, controlled, parallel group study, the evolution of patients with meniscal lesions treated by meniscal suture who received (study group, n = 33) or did not receive (control group, n = 31) electromyographic biofeedback a...

A randomized controlled trial was carried out with the purpose to determine the effectiveness of EMG-biofeedback in the treatment of chronically constipated elderly patients with dyssynergic defecation as compared to a control condition characterized by information about the bowel functioning and counseling focused on the behavioural mechanisms involved in the defecation. With this purpose, aft...
