The MyoTrac is a single channel biofeedback unit fitted with a MyoScan sensor that works as a preamplifier. Biofeedback can help improve awareness and muscle activation as well as to teach muscle relaxation to patients with neurological disorders. The preamplifier makes it possible to detect very weak nerve signals from a muscle.

What is the MyoTrac?

 

The MyoTrac is a single channel biofeedback unit fitted with a MyoScan sensor that works as a preamplifier.

 

What is the MyoTrac used for?

 

Biofeedback training has been used for many years with older children and adults with various neurological disorders. The common uses in this population are increasing awareness, improving muscle activation, and teaching muscle relaxation.

 

What is EMG biofeedback?

 

Classic biofeedback training techniques have been widely used for neuromuscular re-education and relaxation for many years. With biofeedback, electrodes placed over a muscle that the patient attempts to activate or relax pick up the EMG signal. The patient then gets an auditory or visual feedback about the strength of the EMG signal.

 

What does the MyoScan sensor do?

 

The MyoScan sensor is designed with a preamplifier (preamp) in the sensing head. The preamp boosts the signal at the skin surface, allowing detection of a much lower EMG signal. Using surface EMG biofeedback the baseline resting potential of relaxed normally innervated muscle should provide an EMG reading of 1 to 3 microvolts. The single channel MyoTrac is particularly effective in recovering nerve injury because the MyoScan sensor can pick up even very low EMG signals.
