EMG Triggered

EMG Triggered Training is an advanced therapeutic method. This approach bridges the gap between passive therapy and active exercise by combining the patient’s voluntary effort with assistive electrical stimulation (EMS).

It is an ideal solution for functional retraining, particularly in orthopedics and neurological rehabilitation.

The program operates on a “reward” system based on real-time muscle activity measurement (sEMG):

  1. Active Phase (The Trigger): The patient is asked to voluntarily contract the target muscle. The software monitors the electrical activity of the muscle in real-time.

  2. The Reward (EMS Boost): Once the patient’s contraction reaches or exceeds a pre-defined target threshold (Threshold), the device instantly triggers a pre-programmed wave of electrical stimulation (EMS).

  3. Assisted Movement: The external stimulus reinforces the contraction, helping the muscle achieve its full movement and strengthening the neural pathways.

  4. Relaxation Phase: Following the contraction, a mandatory relaxation interval prompts the patient to completely relax the muscle and lower the baseline before the next cycle begins.

Key Benefits of EMG Triggered Therapy:
  • Accelerates Neuromuscular Reeducation: It forces the brain and nervous system to actively initiate the movement, making neuro-rehabilitation significantly more effective.

  • Maximizes Patient Engagement: Stimulation is only delivered when the patient actively tries, turning passive therapy into an interactive training session.

  • Fully Customizable Parameters: The therapist can precisely adjust the difficulty by changing the trigger thresholds, pulse frequency, pulse width, and timing intervals (work/rest phases) to match the patient’s current capabilities.

  • Objective Progress Tracking: Built-in surface EMG monitoring provides a visual response curve, allowing both the therapist and patient to immediately analyze the quality of each contraction and relaxation phase.
