About

Electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BF) is a therapeutic technique that has been used success-fully in rehabilitation of injuries. Although it has been applied in athletes, its use in this field is not very widespread. The objective of this study is to analyze its effectiveness in the recovery of electromyographic activity of the quadriceps after meniscectomy, evaluated through isometric contraction of the vastus lateralis. The sample comprised ten professional footballers in the Spanish League (2nd Division A) who had previously suffered a meniscus injury in their knee and had undergone a meniscectomy. The intervention consisted of EMG-BF treatment lasting between 6 and 10 sessions. The electromyographic signal was recorded using a Thought Tech-nology ProComp Infiniti 8-channel biofeedback unit with a sampling rate of 2048 sam-ples/seconds. For each session a within-subject ABA design of 6 or 10 trials per session was used, with three pre- and three post-measures, which determined the gain for each session.
