Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-3 (June 1984) . - p.369-374 Titre : Head-position training through biofeedback: prosthetic or cure? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. Anthony CATANESE, Auteur ; Donald A. SANDFORD, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.369-374 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This report investigates the effectiveness of biofeedback in the treatment of poor head-positioning in patients with cerebral palsy. Four patients were given feedback of head-position trainer: two were given 20 sessions, the other two were given 10 sessions followed by 10 sessions of social reinforcement. It was found that biofeedback produced significant changes in head control during therapy but that these did not transfer well to other situations, nor did it result in long-term positive improvement. The use of social reinforcement produced excellent and long-term gains. These results are discussed in terms of stimulus properties and reinforcement conditions. General implications of this study in relation to the generalisation and maintenance of behaviour change are also discussed.
