Setting Threshold
Patients will demonstrate varied levels of EMG activity and thus, the effects of
doing ETS may be different between patients. Optimal effects can be achieved
if the user downloads an appropriate threshold from the APP.
Download “0” from the iPad, the digital display will read AUTO in the center of
the yellow area.
1) Press
2) Stay relaxed for 6 to 8 seconds.
3) Stay flexed for 8 to 10 seconds. The stimulator will then set the threshold.
4.3 Other Functions
When battery power is lower than 20%, the battery icon on the OLED will flash
for 1 second to promote recharging; when battery is lower than 10%, the icon
will flash for 0.5 second and electrical stimulation will shut off; when battery is
lower than 5%, the stimulator will automatically shut down.

4.2.3 GAME
GAME is the training mode that combines sEMG biofeedback treatment with
interactive gaming technology. Biofeedback is the use of sEMG signals to
provide a real time visual display in ether a graph or animated format of the
muscular effort exerted by the patient. This external feedback helps the patient
gain greater awareness of the effort exerted and gives them a tangible goal to
work towards thereby improving their performance and affecting a physiological
change. The animations provide an enjoyable, engaging format during the
rehabilitation process. Different games have been designed specifically to
address 3 different types of muscle function; strength, endurance and coordina-
tion. The system transfers the collected EMG signal to the iPad through Blue-
tooth technology to control the games.
