USING BIOFEEDBACK FOR REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON'S DESEASE

Abstract

The effectiveness of a self regulation technique based on the biological feedback (BFB) has been studied during treatment in patients with Parkinson's desease. The specific recommendations for patients with Par­kinson's desease have been determined taking into account an appearance of the distinctive symptoms. The treatment method based on the BFB has been realized. The controllable physiological signals both electrocardiography and electromyography have been used in this method. The rehabilitation psycho-physiological complex “Reakor” has been used for the treatment and diagnostic procedures as well. The statistical analysis of the effectiveness of the self regulation method was performed. It has been shown the combination of medication and biofeedback training aids in the normalization of personal emotional parameters.
