G. Sella
Surface electromyography is an electrophysiological modality assessing the electrical activity of skeletal musculature. The Sella protocol is a structured assessment protocol, including static muscle assessment and dynamic muscle assessment, utilizing standardized electrode placements, conditions, and movements during assessment. This protocol can serve as a basis for designing biofeedback-assisted rehabilitation of patients with chronic pain and other musculoskeletal problems. The protocol can also be applied in forensic evaluations and in optimal performance settings.

This report describes the scientific, technical, and clinical bases for the use of quantitative EEG (QEEG) in the assessment of clients and in treatment monitoring. Specific attention is directed toward the use of normative databases and z-scores as a form of standardized referencing for reporting and training purposes. Normative databases have general value and are of particular value when connectivity metrics are being used. It is shown that the use of z = 0 as an average over time corresponds to a state of optimum flexibility, adaptability, and readiness. The use of the inverse solution (LORETA) methods is also described, as well as use of those methods within the QEEG and normative model. Advantages as well as shortcomings of this approach are described and discussed.

This article provides readers with a guide for evaluating physiological readings during biofeedback assessment and treatment, with the goal of facilitating treatment planning and tracking of treatment progress and outcomes. The author reviews expected values for measurements of breathing, heart rate, heart rate variability, peripheral temperature, and skin conductance.

Professionals can monitor respiration using six biofeedback modalities: strain gauges, surface electromyography, capnometers, oximeters, inspirometers, and feedback thermometers. This article emphasizes the importance of the breathing rhythm, describes how to effectively use each modality, and explains how to minimize contamination by artifacts that masquerade as respiratory activity.

Hagedorn (2014) has highlighted the infection risks in biofeedback and neurofeedback practice and identified broad strategies for mitigating infection risk. In the age of Clostridum difficile, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and human immunodeficiency virus, infection risk cannot be ignored in any health discipline that attaches sensors to patients' skin in most treatments. The present article discusses specific guidelines for care and hygiene of biofeedback and neurofeedback instruments, encoders, cables, and sensors. Attention to practice standards can greatly reduce the risk to practitioner and client alike.
