designed for FUNCTIONAL MUSCLE STIMULATION during walking
The device consists of a base station and 8 sensors connected to it, all of them
are interchangeable.
✓ Sensors are installed on certain parts of the patient's body, by default - left
shin, right shin, left hip, right hip, back.
✓ This configuration allows to build a three-dimensional avatar that
mimics the patient's movements.
Sensors perform three functions:
➢ the main one is TELEMETRY - sensors allow to determine the position
of a particular part of the body in space.
➢ allow for ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG)
➢ allow for FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (FES)
The sensors are wireless; each sensor has two channels for recording EMG or
conducting electrical stimulation (FES). They are mounted on the patient's body
using special elastic fasteners with adjustable size.
The system is managed through SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE that allows to
maintain a database of patients and their treatment results. When conducting
several procedures, the option of a combined analysis is available.
Before each procedure, the patient's gait is initially recorded, which allows
using a 3D avatar to individually adjust the stimulation pattern for each
patient.
The system provides instructions for connecting leads to the most commonly
used muscles and also allows to implement custom arrangements.
The program allows to adjust the stimulation mode by walking phases: each full
step is divided into 16 AVAILABLE PHASES. During walking, the functional
electrical stimulation system monitors cycling. During each procedure
(depending on the configuration), angles in the patient's joints are recorded.
