This book was released on 2019 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Births, graduations, weddings, and funerals are all events around which the ingestion of food is a common denominator. But what happens when the ability to perform this seemingly safe act becomes a ruminative and dangerous activity? For the millions of individuals who experience difficulty swallowing each day, a biomechanical juxtaposition looms between swallowing safety and swallowing endangerment. Oropharyngeal dysphagia affects one in 25 individuals in the United States each year as a result of multiple medical diagnoses: stroke, head and neck cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Traditional treatment methods for the remediation of dysphagia include practice of swallow strengthening exercises, swallow maneuvers, pharyngeal stimulation techniques, diet consistency changes, and postural adjustments. Non-traditional adjunctive treatments, such as surface electromypgraphic (sEMG) biofeedback, have been more sporadically applied and underutilized due to lack of clinician training in swallowing application and decreased availability of equipment. Although principles of biofeedback have been used in physical therapy for over half a century to treat limb impairments and movement disorders, biofeedback's emergence as a viable treatment option within the speech pathology discipline has been slower, spanning just a little more than the past two decades. Beginning with a case report by Bryant describing the positive outcome of biofeedback assisted dysphagia treatment in a patient exhibiting profound dysphagia, other researchers intitiated a quest to formulate treatment protocols suitable for ameliorating swallowing dysfuction. The purpose of this investigation was to illuminate the impact of sEMG biofeedback on submental muscle activity during performance of the effortful swallow therapeutic technique. An alternating treatment design was employed during this single subject research investigation to compare submental muscle peak amplitudes, demonstrating efficacy of visual biofeedback used with effortful swallow as compared to the use of the effortful swallow in the abscence of visual feedback. Although conflicting outcomes on efficacy of sEMG biofeeback exist in current literature, the potential for positive therapeutic outcomes with the use of biofeedback-assisted dysphagia therapy is available. Results of this investigation revealed that data from three of four participants did not support the hypothesis that submental muscle peak amplitudes of effortful swallows performed with visual biofeedback. Reasons for this finding are unknown, but could be attributed to participants mentally challenging themselves when performing effortful swallows in the blind. This data concurs with evidence reported by Benfield, Everton, Bath, and England that research supporting sEMG biofeedback in the treatment of dysphagia is inconclusive.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the effectiveness of EMG biofeedbacK and Attention Control Training as instrumental techniques for muscle tension reduction and relaxation training. Twenty-seven male subjects were administered Spielberger's State Anxiety Inventory and then randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. The two experimental groups participated in three, twenty minute relaxation training sessions each week, for six weeks, while no treatment was given to the control group. EMG activity was monitored at the frontal region for all three groups. A four-way ANOVAR with repeated measures indicated a significant treatment group by periods interaction at the p

Download or read book Electromyographic Biofeedback in the Desensitization of Test Anxiety written by Richard L. Hughes and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systematic desensitization has only been irregularly effective in improving the performance of test-anxious subjects in evaluative situations. It was hypothesized that this attributable to insufficient levels of muscular relaxation obtained with verbal relaxation procedures and that electromyographic biofeedback would lead to deeper levels of relaxation and hence improved performance scores among test-anxious subjects. Interestingly, despite the theoretical centrality of physiological relaxation in desensitization, few studies have directly assessed actual physiological parameters. In the present study subjects received multiple sessions of electromyographic biofeedback of frontalis muscle tension as well as standardized systematic desensitization sessions. After treatment frontalis tension levels indicated that significant muscular relaxation was achieved. Also, test anxiety has significantly decreased in the treatment group. However, there had been no improvement on several performance measures relative to a no-treatment control group. These results are interpreted as casting doubt on the view that test anxiety is primarily a problem of physiological overarousal. (Author).

Download or read book Evaluation of Clinical Biofeedback written by Rogers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey will be useful for anyone who seriously wants to learn more about the current therapeutic status of biofeedback-therapists, physicians considering a referral, well-educated prospective patients, teachers, students, and research workers. But readers with different needs should use it in different ways. For a quick overview of a large field, one should tum to the Introduction and Summary and Conclusions sections. The reader interested in a specific disease should look for the proper section in the Table of Contents and then tum to the overall summary at the end of that section and also the briefer summaries that are given in the last paragraph of many subsections, whenever sufficient data are available. The reader who wants more information should read the entire chapter. The serious student or research worker, for whom the book will be most valuable, will want to read more of the main volume and at least to sample the Appendix to see the kinds of information that can be mined from it. When patients are satisfied with a new treatment and seem to be improved by it, why bother with any additional evaluation? The reason is that history has shown over and over again that new forms of treatment initially can be used enthusiastically for many conditions with apparent success, only to have the pendulum swing in the opposite direction from overenthusiasm to com plete disillusionment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 20 years, Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation continues to be a most researched resource on complementary and alternative therapies in rehabilitation. This renowned text, now in its Fourth Edition, relates the updated scientific evidence and the clinical efficacy of integrating what have now become well known complementary and alternative therapies in rehabilitation to successfully improve patient outcomes. This text has been developed to accompany university courses in complementary and alternative therapies, as a reference manual for clinical practices, and as a resource for those interested in the science behind holistic therapies. Holistic therapies are those therapies not commonly found in allopathic medicine that are intended to stimulate a therapeutic response from both the body – neuromusculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary systems – and the mind. Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation, Fourth Edition by Dr. Carol M. Davis is particularly designed for those health professionals who want to understand the scientific foundation and peer reviewed research supporting complementary and alternative therapies. The Fourth Edition is divided into two parts. The beginning chapters describe the latest cellular biology science and explain the theories put forth on the overall mechanisms of action of the effect of these various therapies on the soft tissue, fascia and nervous systems. The first part also chronicles the advancement of scientific research in the various therapies since the 1980’s to explain, in cellular physiology terms, the outcomes observed by using a number of holistic therapies. The second part presents various therapies commonly integrated with allopathic therapies in rehabilitation – body work therapies, mind/body therapies, and energy work therapies. The text describes each therapy with a history, cellular mechanism of action, and an up-dated reference section of the evidence of efficacy for the therapy as reported in the literature, often concluding with a case example. Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation, Fourth Edition will be the go-to resource for health professionals to understand the scientific evidence and efficacy of complementary and alternative therapies for rehabilitation and improving patient outcomes.
