Biofeedback is a therapy that provides biological information in each moment to help patients control their own body and improve their health status. Biofeedback therapy is also applied in upper extremity functional set.

1. What is biofeedback?

Biofeedback is a method used in the treatment of human behavior, the mechanism of action of this therapy is to use the technique of "observational coordination", thereby helping the patient to achieve a new behavior.
When this learning process is repeated many times with an immediate feedback mechanism, the patient's ability to perfect the behavior will also increase several times.
This is also a technique to help provide biological information to the patient in each moment. These parameters are displayed in detail providing a lot of information.
During biofeedback therapy, the patient will be connected to an electrical sensor, the system will help collect information about the body. This feedback will make changes in the body such as helping to relax certain muscles, helping to reduce pain. In addition, therapy also helps provide the ability to implement new ways for people to control their own bodies, often to improve health or mobility.

2. When is the biofeedback machine used?

Biofeedback machines are used in the following cases:
Feedback on related measurement parameters such as heart rate, ...
Translating measurement variable feedback related to the translation of muscle activity into signals sound, a visible display or a palpable feedback method.
During biofeedback therapy, the patient is connected to electrical sensors (electrodes) to measure this process through the skin, helping to collect information about the body. This information will be fully displayed on the screen.
The use of biofeedback helps to restore upper limb function with high efficiency

3.1 Practitioner Rehabilitation physician Assistant nurse 3.2 Preparation of Electromyography biofeedback Seat, tethers, connection to computer Sphygmomanometer, stethoscope 3.3 Before proceeding Patient The patient is explained about the technique and purpose. The patient should wear a long-sleeved shirt to avoid causing scratches during the blood pressure and pulse test. 3.4 Proceed Start the machine, connect to the computer. Set parameters as specified. Press the button to start the process. Finish the process. Out of time: stop the machine, remove the wires, poles, remove the patient from the system. Turn off the power supply. Time taken from 20 to 30 minutes/day. The course of hand rehabilitation training is performed over several days until the goal is reached. Note:
During the patient's upper extremity exercise with biofeedback, it is necessary to monitor the patient's condition and recovery on the machine for timely handling.
During the course of therapy, the patient may have pain in the pole area due to pole contact, stop the machine, check the scratched area, check, adjust the specifications when the patient is pain free, continue practice practice.
