U-Control | Best Biofeedback Devices

 

A sophisticated, yet simple to use, battery-operated unit, U-Control enables patients to self-train with prescribed exercises, at home, to re-educate pelvic muscles for better urinary or fecal control.

Two LEDs cue patients to tense or relax either for 5 or 10 seconds. Patients view their progress on an ascending or descending bargraph scale or 15 LEDs and listen for rising or falling variations in a continuous tone.

U-Control has an adjustable threshold setting to enable health professionals and patients to revise and report on their training programs as they progress.

Patients use a comfortable, reusable vaginal or rectal sensor in combination with simple biofeedback exercises to improve bladder and bowel function by:

  • holding a steady LED readout or tone.
  • intensifying muscle contractions above the threshold level
  • repeating a preset number of exercises
  • striving for specific LED readings or tones

U-CONTROL $ 420.00

Professional Peripheral Biofeedback BCIA Program

This innovative seminar is designed to teach clinicians biofeedback fundamentals and cutting-edge applications. This program covers all 42 hours of the BCIA Didactic Biofeedback Education requirement through powerful demonstrations of biofeedback and adjunctive procedures, imaginative hands-on lab exercises with multi-channel computerized equipment, professional multimedia presentations and comprehensive review materials. This program integrates personal hands-on training with equipment with didactic presentation.

Topics in the course include:

    • The foundations of biofeedback
    • Physiological basis and recording of surface electromyography (sEMG), temperature, electrodermal activity (EDA), respiration patterns (strain gauges and pCO2), electroencephalography (EEG), peripheral blood flow (BVP), heart rate and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and economic biofeedback approaches (including incentive inspirometers and scales)
    • How to identifying artifacts and determining appropriate recording
    • How to record and interpret data
    • How to perform a psychophysiological profile and pre and post data comparison
    • The use of adjunctive techniques such as progressive relaxation t raining, autogenic training, imagery, guided breathing, desensitization, mindfulness training, quieting reflex.
    • The role of home biofeedback devices such as EmWave, Unyte and GSR2
    • Overview of clinical and educational applications
