shimmer DISCOVERY IN MOTION Shimmer ECG & EMG Unit (INTRODUCTION The ECG & EMG unit, previously also known as the ExG unit, provides a configurable digital front-end, optimized for the measurement of physiological signals, for example 5-lead ECG (Electrocardiography) and 2-channel EMG (Electromyography). Compatible with the Shimmer3 platform, the ECG/EMG unit also boasts best data quality with integrated 10 DoF inertial sensing via accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and altimeter, each with selectable range. The ECG/EMG unit also provides highly accurate and scientifically reliable raw data to allow complete control over capture and interpretation of sensed data in real-time. (PRODUCT OVERVIEW J While addressing the challenges of mobility, the ECG unit can record the pathway of electrical impulses through the heart muscle, and can be recorded on resting and ambulatory subjects. When configured for EMG, the unit can also measure and record the electrical activity associated with muscle contractions, assess nerve conduction, muscle response in injured tissue, activation level, or can be used to analyse and measure the biomechanics of human movement. (key features o Five-wire, four-channel ECG solution, measuring bipolar limb leads and user's choice of VI - V6 o Measure two channels of EMG data with a common reference electrode o Software configurable right-leg drive for common-mode interference rejection o Software configurable amplifier gain o Software configurable data rate o Respiration demodulation capability on-chip o Lead-off detection capability on-chip o Test signal on-chip for validation purposes o EEPROM storage device (on the ExG daughterboard) enables expansion board detection and identification, as well as 2032 bytes of data storage available to user (applications The ECG/EMG unit is compatible with the Shimmer3 platform and can be applied to a variety of applications such as: o Atrial fibrillation o Premature ventricular contraction o Heart function monitoring o Abnormal rhythm detection and alert o Biomechanics, muscle activity, gait and posture disturbance o Fatigue analysis o Sports technique, performance and medicine o Neuro Rehabilitation o Tremor Analysis o Veterinary Science o Orthopedics
