The effect of EMG biofeedback training on muscle activation in an impingement population.

Subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) is one of the most diagnosed causes of pain in the upper extremity. The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activity between asymptomatic and SAIS shoulders on the same subject while understanding the effectiveness of EMG biofeedback training (EBFB) on bilateral overhead movements. Ten participants (7 male), that tested positive for 2/3 SAIS clinical tests, volunteered for the study.
