Abstract

The use of biofeedback devices has been plagued by the “garbage in—garbage out” problem since its inception. This paper reviews the basics of how to use biofeedback devices for surface electromyographic applications at each stage in the process from sensors to displays so meaningful information can be gathered and utilized.
