Abstract

A biofeedback system including a plurality of switches, for example mercury switches, which can be positioned on a patient's body and operatively arranged to respond to changes in orientation or position of a body member such as, for example, a patient's hand, wrist and forearm. Circuitry is arranged to respond to the closing of respective ones of the switches and develop specific, distinct biofeedback signals, for example, individual audible and visual signals for respective switch closings. An additional plurality of switches of the same construction can be placed on a therapist and be operatively arranged and connected to demonstrate the movements and illustrate the nature of the feedback signals.
