“…EMG biofeedback assisted core stability exercise programme strengthen the back muscles thus reducing the disability percentage. A similar study done by Ahmed H et al;, on efficacy of electromyography biofeedback training on trunk stability in chronic low back pain also showed a significant improvement in endurance and pain. It thus provides visual feedback to the patient exercise performance in the form of maximal voluntary contraction of para vertebral muscles during exercises [11].…”

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is a health related problem than affects 80% of the population within the age limit of 15 to 45 years. The primary treatment used for patients with LBP includes muscle strengthening along with thermotherapeutic modalities. Thus the purpose of the study is to see the efficacy of EMG biofeedback assisted core stability exercises versus core stability exercises alone in patients suffering from pain and disability.Methodology: A total of 30 patients were divided through convenient sampling method into two group-A and B. Each group had 15 patients. In Group A-SWD, traction, IFT and core stability exercises were given where as in Group B EMG biofeedback assisted core stability exercises were given for 5 treatment session per week for 2 weeks and reassessment was done on 5th and 10th day post treatment. Result:The result of the study showed that there was statistically significant (p<0.05) improvement in both Group A and B in terms of pain (NPRS) and disability (ODQ) after 10th day of treatment. Whereas on comparison within groups the result showed that there was significant (p<0.05) improvement in Group B 10th day post treatment rather than Group A on day 10th. Conclusion:The study supports that EMG biofeedback assisted core stability exercises are helpful for treating patients with LBP to reduce their pain as well as disability.

“…38,44 Trunk stabilization exercises with EMG-FB resulted in a significantly greater improvement in pain than trunk stabilization exercises without technological support (ES= 0.91). 37 In contrast, no differences in the reduction of pain and disability were found between whole-body vibration and strengthening exercises, 42 between transversus abdominis muscle training with RUSI and sling exercises or general strengthening, 43 and between an internet-mediated walking program and a standard walking program. 39 The latter study also reported no between group differences in quality of life.…”

Various technological systems have been developed to assist exercise therapy for low back pain. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an overview and to assess the effectiveness of the available technology-supported exercise therapy (TSET) programs for low back pain. The electronic databases Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro, IEEE, and ACM were searched until January 2016. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using electronic technological systems simultaneously with exercise therapy for patients with low back pain were included. Twenty-five RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Seventeen studies involved patients with chronic low back pain, and electromyography biofeedback was the most prevalent type of technological support. This review shows that TSET seems to improve pain, disability, and quality of life for patients with low back pain, and that a standard treatment combined with an additional TSET program might be superior to a standard treatment alone. However, TSET seems not more effective compared to other interventions or a placebo intervention for improving these outcomes, which may partially be explained by the analytical approach of the current TSET-programs. For most technologies, only a limited number of RCTs are available, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the effectiveness of individual technological systems.

Objective: To investigate the effects of trunk stabilization exercise in combination with EMG biofeedback on transverse abdominis (TrA) activation capacity in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: Ninety patients with CLBP participated to the study: 45 patients were randomly allocated to trunk stabilization exercises combined with EMG biofeedback, and the other 45 patients were allocated to trunk stabilization exercises with no EMG biofeedback. The primary outcome was TrA activation capacity, and the secondary outcomes were pain and the functional disability. Results: Both the group has shown significant improvements in all the outcomes (p<0.05). However, in the EMG biofeedback group, the improvement of TrA activation capacity was higher at week 6 and 8 compared to other group (p<0.05). Similarly, a higher reduction of functional disability was noted at week 6 and 8 in EMG biofeedback group (p<0.05). In addition, a greater reduction of pain intensity was noted at week 8 in EMG biofeedback group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The addition of EMG biofeedback to trunk stabilization exercises compared to trunk stabilization exercises alone has shown greater gains in TrA activation capacity, reduction in pain intensity, and disability in patients with chronic low back pain.
