Common clinical electromyography was performed to perfect treatment technique with biological feedback (BF) and to determine the mechanism of its action. Sixty eight patients at the age of 18 to 39 years with lower thoracic and lumbar spine and spinal cord injuries were examined at a period of a fullscale picture of spinal cord disease and a period of rehabilitation. The application of BF provided the average 60.2 % growth of muscular activity amplitude due to increase in total excitability of spinal alpha-motoneurons (10 %) (of mainly small (64.8 %) and reduction of excitability of big ones) and braking influence of the central nervous system (112.5 %).
