Postural destabilization induced by trunk extensor muscles fatigue is suppressed by use of a plantar pressure-based electro-tactile biofeedback.

Sep 2008 Separate studies have reported that postural control during quiet standing could be (1) impaired with muscle fatigue localized at the lower back, and (2) improved through the use of plantar pressure-based... Read more...

Mirror visual feedback alleviates deafferentation pain, depending on qualitative aspects of the pain: a preliminary report.

Jul 2008 OBJECTIVES: Following lesions in somatosensory pathways, deafferentation pain often occurs. Patients report that the pain is qualitatively complex, and its treatment can be difficult. Mirror visual feedback (MVF)... Read more...

The role of biofeedback in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

Jul 2008 Biofeedback is a form of treatment that has no adverse effects and can be provided by physician extenders. The therapy relies on patients' ability to learn how to influence their bodily functions through dedicated... Read more...
