Muscle Activation Feedback

Muscle activation feedback is Sarcolink’s signature balance therapy technique. The feedback user performs movements designed by our therapist to alter the position and orientation of falling puzzle pieces in a block-stacking game.

In the video below, the user is practicing shifting their weight from side-to-side while the hands are also occupied. This simulates everyday activities, like cooking, cleaning and laundry and builds stability and endurance while standing.

On the bottom right in the video, our software counts and displays the number of times that each movement has been performed within the therapy session. In a 30-minute session, a user can perform between 100 and 200 repetitions of each movement prescribed by our therapist.

RESEARCH

Muscle activation feedback is an emerging balance therapy method and thus the subject of ongoing scientific research. We maintain an inclusive list of peer-reviewed scholarly manuscripts that are published on the topic.
