Intensives EMG-Biofeedback-Training verbessert die Motorik und reduziert die Synkinesien bei Patienten mit chronischer Fazialisparese

This study investigated the effect of EMG biofeedback training in reducing muscle tension among subjects who displayed Type A behavior. 22 Type A college students (19 to 22 yr. old) were randomly assigned to either a biofeedback group or a control group. After 6 wk. of training, Type A subjects showed a significant reduction in muscle tension for both resting and aroused states; however, the reduction of muscle tension did not result in reduction of Type A behavior patterns.

Cursive Handwriting

The effects of EMG biofeedback training on cursive handwriting were investigated for 4 girls and 5 boys in Grade 4. A significant reduction in EMG between the first baseline session and the last training session was obtained. Four of 5 characteristics of handwriting improved significantly. The need for carefully designed research comparing EMG biofeedback training and relaxation training was indicated. A self-control factor in handwriting was hypothesized.

Relaxation Procedure

The present study investigated the effects of a trainer's presence vs a trainer's absence on subject-controlled, response-contingent relaxation training. Ten college students each received either frontalis EMG biofeedback training with trainer present, biofeedback training with trainer absent or information/placebo control with a trainer present. The relaxation procedure included a .5-hr baseline session and five .5-hr. training sessions. Analysis indicated that the biofeedback groups showed greater within-session reduction of EMG activity than the control condition but did not differ from each other. Post-session EMG levels across training sessions showed a significant decrease for all three groups. However, the two biofeedback groups relaxed more across sessions than did the control group and the two biofeedback groups did not differ from each other. Subjective ratings showed that subjects in all conditions became more relaxed both within and across sessions. The results indicate that a trainer's presence is not crucial in facilitating subject-controlled, response-contingent relaxation training.
