Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of electromyographic biofeedback therapy and kinesitherapy on patients with radial nerve injury.Methods 82 patients with radial nerve injury were divided into control group (n=41) and treatment group (n=41). The control group was treated with medcine and acupuncture, while the treatment group received electromyographic biofeedback therapy and kinesitherapy in addition. The radial nerve function was assessed and analyzed by electromyogram (EMG) and motor conduction velocity (MCV) before and after treatment. Results After 12 weeks of treatment, limb motor function, EMG and MCV were better in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electromyographic biofeedback therapy and kinesitherapy can effectively improve the limb motor function of patients with radial nerve injury

Key words: radial nerve injury, electromyographic biofeedback therapy, kinesitherapy, electromyogram, motor conduction velocity
