Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major worldwide problem that regularly affects up to a third of the general population. In the US alone, the market for physical therapy was valued at ~32 B USD in 2015, recently growing at ~6% YoY. Besides the direct impact in the quality of life and cost of treatment, MSDs accounted for one-third of days lost due to work-related ill health and injury in countries such as the US, UK and Finland, with ~20% of leaves of absence due to MSD injuries being above a 1-month period. To help mitigate these issues, in this chapter, we describe a novel biofeedback system designed to support part of the rehabilitation processes at home, further extending the state of the art with an app-driven and cloud-based approach. This approach enables the therapists to remotely monitor the progress of the patients and near instant adjustment of the training program from the clinic. The system consists of low-cost wearable devices for electromy- ography (EMG), a set of user-friendly smartphone apps, and a cloud-based service that allows the patient to have a remote evaluation of his/her performance, handled by the clinical therapist that prescribed the treatment.

The LLC Bionic Natali company is a startup and has been engaging in creation of bionic artificial limbs of hands for more than 2 years, and the LLC Bi-oN EMG was created one year ago on base of LLC Bionic Natali. From the first steps, projects had been directed on the solution of a problem of development of the domestic bionic functional artificial limb of the hand based on neural network and others algorithms. In projects, it had been created the functional system of management, system of tactile feedback which has increased controllability of a functional artificial limb is already realized and integrated, and also the functional bionic artificial limb of the hand. Based on this work it had been done the general representations and practical application of machine training, neural network and others algorithms. The technology of recognition of gestures of electromyographic activity based on neural network or an analog of network is the cornerstone. The bracelet is put on a hand (in case of disabled people, a stump), further noninvasive electrodes remove potential difference of neuromuscular activity; by means of an electric circuit there is data handling and their transmission to the processor where by means of a neural network there is a recognition of a gripper, further data are transferred for control of a bionic hand. This technology has also found so far mostly theoretical management, but undergoes testing practical, for control of the knee module of a bionic artificial limb of the lower limb. The technology of bracelet became the product of LLC Bi-oN EMG for virtual reality, games and rehabilitation. On the basis of this researches the important conclusion has been drawn: after carrying out operations within rehabilitation and the subsequent requirement of rehabilitation of disabled people before use of bionic artificial limbs of hands, use of an electromyographic bracelet of LLC Bi-oN EMG is offered as option.

Biofeedback is a noninvasive method of measurement of physiological functions where precise instruments measure the slightest changes in body functions. Many of the studies have shown that using biofeedback can reduce the occurrence of migraine or reduce the strength of the pain. Some results from a study suggest that the use of biofeedback in combination with medication is more successful than medication alone in treating migraines. Also, holistic approach by using behavioral technic is necessary to provide maximal results by methods. To more precisely work with patients who suffer from a migraine, it is also important to know the pathophysiology of a migraine. According to relevant research, we combined biofeedback treatment that consisted of a combination of three forms of biofeedback treatment: neurofeedback, breathing, and vascular biofeedback. Combination of treatments in 25 sessions helped the patient with a long history of a severe migraine. Further research of patients suffering from a migraine with different treatment protocols is needed to establish the method.
