[Purpose] Electromyography biofeedback therapy is applied to various diseases during physical therapy for motor learning. Our aim was to develop a low-cost electromyography biofeedback device kit that students could build by themselves in class and to evaluate whether this kit was an adequate educational tool for physical therapy students. [Subjects and Methods] This study included 34 volunteer...

introduction: the important sequelae of facial nerve palsy are synkinesis, asymmetry, hypertension and contracture; all of which have psychosocial effects on patients. synkinesis due to mal regeneration causes involuntary movements during a voluntary movement. previous studies have advocated treatment using physiotherapy modalities alone or with exercise therapy, but no consensus exists on the ...

Biofeedback involves the monitoring and use of physiologic information to teach patients to modify specific physiologic functions. Common modalities for biofeedback include surface electromyography, respiration rate and depth, skin surface temperature, cardiovascular reactivity, and electrodermal response. Clinical biofeedback therapy broadly involves either the direct feedback learning model o...

Static surface electromyography can provide an objective test of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar posterior areas that needs to be performed within a clear clinical or ergonomic context. It is of great help in postural assessment in the standing position in people with healthy backs or postural dysfunctions. The author has devised a protocol that allows statistically based treatment and more ...

We investigated the effects of visual electromyography (EMG) biofeedback during side-lying shoulder external rotation exercise on the EMG amplitude for the posterior deltoid, infraspinatus, and infraspinatus/posterior deltoid EMG activity ratio. Thirty-one asymptomatic subjects were included. Subjects performed side-lying shoulder external rotation exercise with and without visual EMG biofeedba...

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...

Biofeedback is a process in which biological information is measured and fed back to a patient and clinician for the purpose of gaining increased awareness and control over physiological domains. Surface electromyography (SEMG), a measure of muscle activity, allows both a patient and clinician to have direct and immediate access to muscle functioning that is not possible with manual palpation o...
