Biofeedback treatment of orofacial dysfunction: a preliminary study.
One quadriparetic patient and three hemiparetic patients, who were two-months, one-year, and three-year's post-stroke, respectively, were involved in a study to compare the effectivess of electromyographic biofeedback versus mirror feedback in correcting orofacial dysfunction. The results of this study support the use of electromyographic biofeedback as an adjunctive tool in muscle reeducation, demonstrate the value of its application by trained allied health professionals, and raise questions for further research.
