Recently there have been many published studies concerning the clinical application of biofeedback in rehabilitation. A review of these studies shows that EMG biofeedback is most frequently used in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Few effort has been made to examine the efficiencies of other kinds of feedback techniques including EEG, respiration, position sensing, and autonomic responses. In this report some problems discussed concerning respiratory biofeedback treatment of the physically handicapped patients. The types of patients are classified as follows : 1. Cerebral Palsy Respiratory biofeedback is used to improve speech function and to reduce muscle hypertention. 2. Spinal Cord Injuries Respiratory biofeedback is used to ameliorate postual hypotention and to improve vital capacity during breath exercises in quadriplegic persons. 3. Cerebellar Ataxia and Parkinson's Disease Hand tremors of these patients show the respiratory fluctuation, therefore respiratory biofeedback technique could be useful to reduce them.
