Exercise and Biofeedback

Biofeedback testing is a way to measure your body’s own feedback in response to a stimulus like exercise. While advanced hardware technology exists to measure things like heart rate variability (HRV), muscle strength, or reflex speed testing your range of motion is free, easy, and you already have all the equipment you need: your body.

You can test any range of motion of the body. Some of the easiest and most obvious to detect changes are:

• Forward flexion – toe touch
• Arm abduction – side arm raise

In a healthy individual, any range of motion in which you can notice a change can be used. If someone has a restricted range of motion in a joint, it can be used to quickly assess improvement. For example, if a person had trouble abducting…
