NRBS Webinar: SEMG Biofeedback for Neuromotor Dysfunction

Presented by: Geva Antopolsky, BPT

SEMG is a powerful tool, providing the user access to neuromuscular activation patterns otherwise invisible. In cases where neurological deficiencies alter and interrupt physical function, such as post stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, as well as chronic conditions, this information can be used to retrain the neuromuscular system to gain control of, and generate force in affected muscles. Since accurate, well delivered feedback is key to neuroplasticity and motor learning, having access to this information, and delivering it in the right way can be incremental to the rehabilitation process.

Participants will get familiarized with:

• The basics of the EMG signal and how to interpret it
• The different aspects of the SEMG hardware
• The clinical reasoning behind incorporating biofeedback in neuromuscular rehabilitation
• How to use SEMG biofeedback in the clinic
