Biofeedback is at “the cutting edge of assistive technology”, according to 
a paper written by Kari Jaehnert, and published by United Cerebral Palsy.  
Biofeedback therapists place sensors on various parts of the body to 
measure electrical impulses associated with the heart rate, brain waves, 
breathing, muscle movement and other internal activities.  The impulses are 
measured and displayed on a computer monitor.  By becoming more sensitive 
to the body’s internal activities, adults with CP have been able to manage 
pain more effectively, and improve control over involuntary movements.

The CP conference in October will demonstrate two types of biofeedback that 
can be helpful with spasticity and pain. For details on the conference, go
