EMG Biofeedback exercises involve the active control of muscle tension based on a real-time sEMG graph displayed on the screen. This training option allows the therapist to flexibly select parameters, allowing the patient to perform movement tasks tailored to their abilities.

Process and Parameters:

• Session Planning: The therapist determines the work and rest times, and the number of repetitions (e.g., cycles of 5 seconds of contraction and 5 seconds of relaxation).
• Threshold: Establishes a target tension level that the patient must achieve or maintain. This level is expressed as a percentage of the patient’s maximum voluntary contraction (MVC).
• Movement Tasks: The patient continuously adjusts the strength of the contraction, attempting to “drive” the graph toward the desired goal.

The main goal of the exercise is to improve body awareness and muscle precision. Immediate feedback (biofeedback) allows the patient to immediately recognize errors -such as incomplete relaxation or unstable contraction – and can correct them immediately. This form of work significantly accelerates the neuromuscular re-education process and the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
