EMG Biofeedback

What Is EMG Biofeedback?

EMG biofeedback is a method of retraining muscle by creating new feedback systems as a result of the conversion of myoelectrical signals in the muscle into visual and auditory signals. EMG uses surface electrodes to detect a change in skeletal muscle activity, which is then fed back to the user usually by a visual or auditory signal. EMG biofeedback can be used to either increase activity in weak or paretic muscle or it can be used to facilitate a reduction in tone is a spastic one. EMG biofeedback has been shown to be useful in both musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation.

Biofeedback For Pelvic Floor Muscle Retraining?

Biofeedback for pelvic floor muscle retraining is a treatment to help patients learn to strengthen or relax their pelvic floor muscles in order to improve bowel or bladder function and decrease some types of pelvic floor pain.  It is a painless process that uses special sensors and a computer monitor to display information about muscle activity.  This information or “feedback” is used to gain sensitivity, and with practice, control over pelvic floor muscle function.  An important part of pelvic floor biofeedback therapy is consistent practice of the pelvic floor muscle exercises at home.  With biofeedback, an individual can learn to stop using the incorrect muscles and start using the correct ones.

Who can benefit?

Conditions that can be improved with pelvic muscle retraining include: accidental bowel leakage (ABL), urinary incontinence, constipation that involves difficult or painful evacuation, and some types of pelvic floor pain.

Strong Wireless EMG Signal Recording System

(Biofeedback Solution)

Purpose:

  • Biofeedback, relaxation & muscle re-education purposes
  • Relaxation of muscle spasms
  • Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
  • Increasing local blood circulation
  • Maintaining or increasing range of motion
  • Stroke rehab by muscle re-education
  • Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
  • Acute and ongoing treatment of stress, urge or mixed urinary
  • Incontinence where inhibition of the detrusor muscle through reflexive mechanisms may improve urinary control
  • Incontinence treatment for assessing EMG activity of the pelvic floor and accessory muscles such as the abdominal or gluteal muscles
