Biofeedback is a technique to augment the normal sensory feedback and allow better control of body functions that are usually considered involuntary. The general mechanism starts by measuring a body parameter, either physiologic or biomechanical, which then gets transformed into a visual, auditory, or haptic signal. The individual learns to change the signal by controlling the body parameter. Positive feedback changes embed the actions into memory, allowing for an increased degree of control over a previously involuntary function. This activity outlines the method behind biofeedback techniques and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients who undergo biofeedback training.
