[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of kinetic chain exercise using EMG-biofeedback on balance and lower extremity muscle activation. [Subjects and Methods] For this study, 30 stroke patients participated in this study and they were divided into closed kinetic chain exercise using EMG-biofeedback group (CKCE+EB) and open kinetic chain exercise using EMG-biofeedback gro...

Objective: This study was carried out to find the changes in functional status of chronic spinal cord injured patients with treatment of electromyography biofeedback. Methods: A sample of 30 subjects randomly allocated into group A and B participated in the study .Group A received electromyographic biofeedback training along with conventional exercise and Group B received conventional exercises...

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is prevalent in adolescent populations worldwide. Emotion dysregulation believed to contribute NSSI, but underlying mechanisms are less known. We combined psychophysiological and neural data with subjective self-report close temporal proximity examine the emotion processing adolescents NSSI relative control without a psychiatric diagnosis. Thirty female 30 age-mat...

There is a growing prevalence of robotic systems for surgical laparoscopy. We previously developed quantitative measures to assess robotic surgical proficiency, and used augmented feedback to enhance training to reduce applied grip force and increase speed. However, there is also a need to understand the physiological demands of the surgeon during robotic surgery, and if training can reduce the...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of biofeedback therapy on the residual urine volume in children with dysfunctional voiding. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in children with dysfunctional voiding associated with abnormal postvoid residual urine (PVR) from June 2002 to 2007. The children were divided randomly into 2 groups. Group 1 was treated with standard urotherapy combined wi...

INTRODUCTION Clinical evidence indicates that certain types of movement disorders are due to psychosomatic factors. Patients with myoclonic movements are usually treated by a variety of therapeutic agents. Autogenic training (AT), a recognized form of psychosomatic therapies, is suitable for certain types of neurological diseases. We describe a patient with myoclonus who failed to respond to co...

Four questions were addressed: (a) does biobehavioral intervention result in within-session reduction of tremor severity; (b) do relaxation and electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback training produce differential effects; (c) do within-session treatment effects generalize to daily performance; and (d) are reductions in tremor severity maintained at follow-up assessment? Three adults, ages 51, 77, ...

In this study, the intensity of the asymmetrical tome neck reflex (ATNR) was measured in post-cerebrovascular accident (CVA) adults with hemiplegia and in neurologically intact adults to determine if the reflex exaggerated following CVA. Fourteen subjects with right and left hemiplegiC! were matched to neurologically intact subjects by age and sex and tested for the ATNR. Intensity of the refle...
