title: Developing strategies for biofeedback. Applications in neurologically handicapped patients.
abstract: Strategies involving muscle biofeedback applications in the rehabilitation of neurologically handicapped patients are discussed. These include positioning of the limbs, initiating contractions, and controlling spasticity. Guidelines in the proper application of electrodes and biofeedback equipment are presented along with methods of documentation. The authors offer their training strategies as an initial guide and stress that uses of biofeedback need to be explored and documented.
