Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System
OPERATION
SEMG OPERATION
The Neo Therapy sEMG + Stim modality utilizes sEMG
biofeedback activity coupled with triggered electrical
muscle stimulation using selected electrotherapy
waveforms for the maximum bene
fi
t in muscle retraining.
The following option are available: sEMG (Channel 1),
sEMG (Channel 2), sEMG (Channels 1 & 2), sEMG + Stim
VMS, and sEMG + Stim Sym Biphasic.
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 the pre-set 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 USB storage drive
and accessed on the Home Screen under the Patient Data
icon. 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.
NOTE:
This section applies when Stimulation Channels
and sEMG module is installed. Complete the following
steps to begin sEMG treatment:
1. Touch the screen to activate the system.
2. Prepare Patient and therapy system – Refer to the
PATIENT PREPARATION section for electrode selection,
preparing the patient, and securing electrodes, on
page 41.
3. Select sEMG icon from the Home screen.
4. Select the prescribed channel icon (See above for
the available choices). The treatment screen will
appear (image below illustrates the sEMG Channel 1
selection). Set-up Steps:
• To set the Target Threshold either Automatically or
Manually, touch the CUSTOMIZE Icon.
• Adjust the Intensity with the Intensity Dial.
5. Press Start/Pause button to begin therapy. Screen
prompts will appear:
• “Contract” - Instructs the patient to attempt reaching
the Target Threshold “Contract” appears on the screen,
indicating the patient should attempt to contract the
selected muscle(s). “Contract” remains on the screen
until the patient’s sEMG output reaches the Target
Threshold, at which time Electrical Stimulation is
delivered.
• “Hold” - Instructs the patient to contract the selected
muscle(s). When the Target Threshold is reached, the
“Hold” prompt appears, instructing the patient to
continue to contract the selected muscle(s) until the
pre-set time for the Stimulation ends.
• “Relax” - Instructs the patient to Relax. “Relax” appears,
indicating the patient should relax, stopping the
contraction. Relax continues for the pre-set time.
The cycle repeats when “Contract” re-appears, again
indicating the patient should attempt to contract the
selected muscle(s).
6. The following options are available under the
Customize treatment screen and accessed by pressing
the appropriate icon:
7. To view information explaining the waveform, select
the Modality Description icon. Press the Up and Down
icons to view additional text. Press the Back Arrow
icon to return to the previous screen or the Home icon
to return to the Home screen.
To view the most commonly used electrode
placement for the selected waveform, select the
Guidelines Icon. A picture will appear prompting you
to select the body part you wish to treat. Press the
Down icon to scroll through text. Press the Back Arrow
icon to return to the previous screen or the Home icon
to return to the Home screen
Note: When using sEMG + Stim, the Customization
screen adds two icons to edit Stimulation settings and
to set stimulation intensity.
