  • Title: Efficacy of myofeedback therapy in regaining control of lower extremity musculature following stroke.
    Author: Shiavi RG, Champion SA, Freeman FR, Bugel HJ.
    Journal: Am J Phys Med; 1979 Aug; 58(4):185-94. PubMed ID: 464030.
    Abstract:
    The short-term efficacy (three months or less) of electromyographic biofeedback on the control and strength of six lower extremity muscles in twenty-two hemiplegic patients was investigated. The analysis of the data shows that patients receiving myofeedback therapy achieve a much larger increase in the control of muscle activity whereas there is no significant difference in the increase in strength.
