Overview: The document introduces the Aware EMG, a wireless muscle monitor developed by SRS Medical for pelvic floor and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. It emphasizes a Systems Approach to EMG, ensuring accurate and reproducible measurements through advanced signal detection, processing, and display.
Specifications: The Aware EMG is a wearable, wireless instrument that monitors two muscle sites in real-time. It is primarily used for pelvic floor rehabilitation but is also applicable for musculoskeletal rehab. The device features easy-to-use software with clinically sound protocols and provides clear, informative reports.
Signal Detection: The Aware EMG uses internal electrode assemblies like the SenseRx™ Vaginal & Anal Sensors and IVS-2™ Intravaginal Sensor for direct measurement of pelvic muscle activity. These sensors are designed for repeatability and proper orientation relative to muscle fibers.
Signal Processing: The device employs a selective notch filter to eliminate power line interference and has high common mode rejection to filter out other artifacts. It captures a wide frequency range to encompass signal energy even when muscles are fatigued.
Display and Data Acquisition: The Aware EMG software tracks EMG activity in real-time and offers various display options for clarity. It automatically generates comprehensive reports and allows data summarization in multiple formats.
Applications: - Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Simultaneous monitoring of pelvic floor and accessory muscles aids in muscle isolation and control. Internal sensors are used for direct measurements, while surface electrodes monitor accessory muscle use.
- Musculoskeletal Rehab: The wireless design facilitates freedom of movement during exercises, providing real-time guidance and motivation through tangible progress metrics.
Related Products: SRS Medical also offers the Aware PFS stimulator, biofeedback, urodynamics/uroflow equipment, and the In-Flow™ device for women with chronic voiding dysfunction.
Patents and Trademarks: The Aware EMG and related technologies are protected by multiple patents and trademarks owned by SRS Medical Corp.
