Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the use of sEMG biofeedback technology in enhancing therapy for swallowing exercises. It highlights the benefits of interactive therapy, which provides visual and audible feedback to patients, thereby improving engagement and functional swallow recovery.

Interactive Therapy: The system uses screen mirroring technology to project live treatment progress onto a computer or tablet, allowing clinicians to guide patients through personalized swallowing exercises. This approach encourages patient engagement and goal achievement.

VitalStim Plus: This neuromuscular electrical stimulation tool aids in muscle recruitment and re-education for swallowing. It works under clinician guidance to strengthen muscles and rehabilitate swallowing, with sEMG biofeedback enhancing effort, duration, and coordination of swallowing attempts.

Treatment Modes:

VitalStim Treatment: Utilizes Co-Contraction Mode with up to four channels delivering stimulation concurrently.
VMS Treatment: Allows customization of treatment protocols by adjusting parameters like Phase Duration and Frequency, offering flexibility to match natural swallowing sequences.
sEMG Treatment: Measures and displays electrical signals in muscles, providing feedback to increase patient effort and participation.
sEMG + Triggered Stim: Patients initiate swallowing exercises with sEMG biofeedback, switching to stimulation mode upon reaching a set threshold.

Educational Tools: The system includes educational videos demonstrating key therapeutic exercises and an anatomical library to assist in patient education.

Technology and Data Management: Bluetooth technology enables screen mirroring for enhanced patient engagement. Treatment data can be stored, displayed, or exported for tracking progress and generating reports.

References: The document cites studies by Crary MA and others on the functional benefits of dysphagia therapy using sEMG biofeedback.
