Abstract

We have developed computerized biofeedback systems for treating patients using dynamic display of noninvasive measurements along with the display of the signal from a typical normal subject. In addition, the peak magnitude of the patient´s signal is barographically compared with that of a normal subject. Applications to the rehabilitation of dysphagic patient showed good acceptability. The system enables home care and teletherapy applications
