Exercise in the early stages following an injury or as above following surgery may be enhanced by electrical stimulation. This can start to move muscles which have become inhibited. The mirror (shown in the right corner) gives visual feedback to ensure correct posture and technique.

Electronic biofeedback can help provide visual and audible feedback to ensure specific muscles are working during exercises. The type of posture used during exercise can enhance or hinder the desired muscle activity, and so effective rehabilitation. Postural retraining is explained in more detail in another section.
