Abstract
Biofeedback has traditionally been used in the context of relaxation therapy along with stress management. Some recent studies have looked to extend the applicability of biofeedback by using it as a didactic tool for neuromotor rehabilitation. The present case is one in which an anoxic head-injury patient was unable to participate in transfers owing to a severe myoclonic condition. The patient was trained using an autogenic relaxation procedure along with EMG biofeedback modality to reduce the myoclonus and therefore participate actively with stand pivot transfers.Keywords
