The use of biofeedback techniques in occupational therapy for persons with chronic pain.
The use of biofeedback in occupational therapy to aid the person with chronic pain in the resumption of his daily functional activities is discussed. The chronic pain syndrome and how it disrupts performance of activities is examined, as well as occupational therapy strategies for assessment and treatment using biofeedback, and indications for evaluating treatment outcomes. The authors assume readers have basic familiarity with biofeedback theory, equipment and its operation.
