Abstract :
Games-based biofeedback training uses augmented feedback signals to control the action of computer games. The NeuroGymreg system of games-based biofeedback has been used to improve the muscle activation and gait pattern of a patient with spinal cord injury. Training with this system also improved functional balance in a group of active older adults.
