Abstract
Electromyographic biofeedback was used with apparent success, although most often in an uncontrolled fashion, in the rehabilitation treatment of a wide range of [human] neuromuscular disorders. These included peripheral nerve-muscle damage, spasmodic torticollis, the stroke hemiplegias and cerebral palsy. Studies of these applications were reviewed and some specific problems that should be the topic of further controlled research were outlined.Funding Information
