摘要: The increase of age-related diseases such as musculoskeletal and neurological dysfunction will require increased use rehabilitation therapy. effectiveness this treatment depends the skill therapist functionality inherent in therapeutic device used. Here, a new EMG biofeedback controlled traction machine was developed to relieve neck pain or cervical compression syndrome. Through force control, muscle injury, soreness pain, after can be avoided. This modality not only provides safety quantitative assessment therapy, but also demonstrates feasibility applying computer technologies medical devices.
