biofeedback
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Biofeedback is a modality that | uses an electromechanical device to provide visual and/or auditory feedback. |
| Biofeedback can be utilized to | receive information related to motor performance, kinesthetic performance or physiological response. |
| Biofeedback can measure | peripheral skin temperature, changes in blood volume through vasodilation and vasoconstriction using finger phototransmission, sweat gland activity, and electrical activity during muscle contraction. |
| Electromyographic biofeedback is | the most commonly used biofeedback modality in the clinical setting. |
| Biofeedback Therapeutic Effects-- | Muscle relaxation |
| Biofeedback Therapeutic Effects-- | Improve muscle strength |
| Biofeedback Therapeutic Effects-- | Decrease muscle spasm |
| Biofeedback Therapeutic Effects-- | Neuromuscular control |
| Biofeedback Therapeutic Effects-- | Decrease accessory muscle use |
| Biofeedback Therapeutic Effects-- | Decrease pain |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Muscle spasm |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Pain |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Spinal cord injury |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Urinary incontinence |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Improve neuromuscular control |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Muscle weakness |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Hemiplegia |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Cerebral palsy |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Bowel incontinence |
| Biofeedback Indications-- | Promote relaxation |
| Contraindications | Any condition where muscle contraction is detrimental |
| Contraindications | Skin irritation at electrode site |
| Prior to treatment the therapist should | ensure that the patientʼs skin is clean and dry. |
| The two active electrodes should be placed | parallel to the muscle fibers and close to each other. |
| The reference or ground electrode can be placed | anywhere on the body, but is often secured between the two active electrodes. |
| The signals are transmitted to a | differential amplifier and information is conveyed through visual and audio feedback. |
| The treatment for muscle re-education should begin with the patient | performing a maximal muscle contraction. |
| re-ed The sensitivity of the biofeedback unit | should be set at a low sensitivity setting and adjusted so that the patient can perform the repetitions at a ratio of two-thirds of the maximal muscle contraction. |
| re-ed Treatment duration for a single muscle group is | five to ten minutes. |
| The treatment for muscle relaxation requires a | high sensitivity setting and a similar electrode placement with active electrodes initially positioned close to each other. |
| As the patient improves with relaxation, | the electrodes should be placed further apart and the sensitivity setting increased. |
| relaxition-During this treatment, | the patient may also benefit from adjunct relaxation techniques such as imagery. |
| Treatment duration of 10 to 15 minutes is usually adequate | to attain relaxation. |
