myomo MyoPro 2 Motion G, User Manual Appendix C

Page: 26 / 87

Triceps mode
In this mode, the Triceps Light will be illuminated. The elbow
motor will respond to your triceps EMG signal.
Actions:
•
When you relax your triceps, the elbow will flex.
•
When you contracts your triceps, the elbow will extend.
Dual mode
In this mode, both the Biceps and Triceps Light will illuminated.
The elbow motor will respond to your biceps
and triceps EMG
signal.
The elbow will only respond to muscle contraction (not
relaxation, as in other modes) to assist you with active flexion
and active extension of your elbow.
You must engage both muscle groups in order for your arm to
move in both directions. The MyoPro 2 will respond to
whichever muscle signal is stronger at a given moment in time.
In order for Dual mode to be most effective, you should be able
to isolate the desired muscle (biceps or triceps) and have a
limited number of co-contractions prior to using Dual mode.
When used well, this mode should allow you greater ability to
hold an arm position at a mid-point between fully flexed and
fully extended.
Actions:
•
When you contract your biceps, the elbow will flex, as long
as your biceps signal is greater than your triceps signal.
•
When you contract your triceps, the elbow will extend, as
long as your triceps signal is greater than your biceps signal.
