EMG biofeedback in tendon transplantation for foot drop.
EMG biofeedback training was used successfully to obtain the desired new function of dorsiflexion in the transplanted muscle for two patients with foot drop. The transplanted muscles are not working effectively, not only the active movement but also during a walk. It is concluded that EMG biofeedback training is useful in rehabilitation following tendon transplantation for foot drop.
