General Information
The Intelect Advanced sEMG + Stim modality utilizes sEMG biofeedback activity coupled with triggered electrical muscle stimulation using
selected electrotherapy waveforms for the maximum benefit in muscle retraining. The sEMG + Stim will not function as a multi-channel
modality. It is designed for single channel use only. However, it is available to all electrotherapy channels.
The Electrical Muscle Stimulation is triggered when the muscle contraction (sEMG portion of the therapy) reaches the target. sEMG stops
and the muscle is then electrically stimulated for a period. After stimulation, the patient is given a short rest period and then repeats the
muscle contraction, attempting to reach the target to again trigger the electrical stimulation. This is repeated throughout the therapy
session.
Session parameters can be stored on a Patient Data Card. The Patient Data Card can be used with the optional Patient Data Management
System for adding session notes and printing reports. Several sessions can be stored on a Patient Data Card. Any of the sessions stored on
the Patient Data Card can be recalled in the Therapy System for future use.
It is recommended that each patient be assigned a Patient Data Card. Refer to the Intelect Advanced User Manual for Patient Data Card
setup and use instructions.
The sEMG portion of sEMG + Stim modality is used to force the patient to contract the muscle to a prescribed target. The data cannot be
recorded or stored on the Patient Data Card or the sEMG Data Card.
