EMG biofeedback has been shown to produce more rapid and significantly greater development of strength when combined with more traditional forms of physical therapy. EMG biofeedback has been successfully used for muscle strengthening and muscle reeducation in hemiplegic patients, rehabilitation following surgeries or trauma, and selective training of the vastus medialis during patella realignment. More recently, the use of EMG biofeedback training to remediate lower back pain has been studied.
