It's traditionally been used for treating patellofemoral pain and urinary incontinence. With aquatic biofeedback, many of the same land-based treatment techniques easily transition to water. If you use land-based biofeedback at your facility, transferring the applications to the water is simple. Applying aquatic biofeedback starts by placing electrodes on established marks while the person is still on land. In the water, however, these electrodes should be covered with a waterproof wrap to seal the attachment site and keep it dry.
Wires run from the electrodes to the primary biofeedback console.
Safety isn't an issue. The unit doesn't plug into a wall socket, eliminating the risk of electrocution. In a worst-case scenario, if the electrodes get wet, the numbers on the readout screen will immediately bottom out. Simply remove the wraps and replace the electrodes with dry ones. Once the patient is wired up, he moves into the water and starts an exercise routine, while you hold the unit poolside.
