The short-term efficacy (three months or less) of electromyographic biofeedback on the control and strength of six lower extremity muscles in twenty-two hemiplegic patients was investigated. The analysis of the data shows that patients receiving myofeedback therapy achieve a much larger increase in the control of muscle activity whereas there is no significant difference in the increase in strength.
