A New Era in Biofeedback: Wearable EMG Devices

Surface EMG biofeedback is a tool that has been around for decades, but recent advances in technology, engineering, and clinical practice have created a new stage for the practicality, viability, and usage of biofeedback. 

mTrigger biofeedback set out to create an easier way to clinically measure muscle activation. A simple idea with massive clinical implications.
 
The University of Delaware’s Biomedical Engineering Department did a “Voice of the Customer” segment where they took a deep dive into medical devices, including sEMG biofeedback. They asked some of the leading experts in the field of physical therapy, including mTrigger’s Clinical Application Specialist and DPT Kaysha Bates, how they are using sEMG biofeedback, what makes it clinically useful, and why it is important for practice. In addition to Dr. Bates interview, listen to added perspectives from researcher, physical therapist, and professor Dr. Karin Silbernagel, Sports Physical Therapists Lewis Lupowitw, Joseph Miller, and Jeffery Fernandez on how they are using biofeedback in their unique practices. 

Check out the interview with mTrigger’s Clinical Application Specialist Dr. Bates as she dives into some of your most pressing questions about sEMG biofeedback. 

Summary

Providers agree it is essential to know which muscles are being activated. Whether you are researching, treating patients, or trying to get athletes back on the field, sEMG biofeedback is an essential tool for uncovering this critical information. Through numerous interviews of physical therapists, researchers, and professors in the field, the University of Delaware’s Department of Biomedical Engineering has asked the important questions. Why? How? And what? Why is biofeedback important? How has it influenced your practice? And what can be done to make it even better?
