When would using muscle stimulation technologies be most beneficial?

What is the evidence for using these types of interventions?

EMG Triggered Muscle Stimulation - 21st Century NMES
With EMG+STIM the patient has to trigger the muscle stimulation. The electrodes that are placed over the muscles picks up the EMG signal (low level electrical current produced within a muscle) when the patient attempts a movement. When a preset threshold of EMG is reached the stimulator turns on and helps the patient complete the movement. This technology uses the patient’s own neural system as a trigger, allowing the patient to learn how to produce a normal contraction. This is a “closed loop” training system that builds on current knowledge about neuroplasticity.

Examples of diagnoses:

Using these technologies are like playing computer games ! It is fun and interactive.

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 pick up the EMG signal. The patient then gets an auditory or visual feedback about the strength of the EMG signal.
Fun biofeedback games are now available for our computerized version of the MyoTrac Infiniti NeuroPD.

The MyoTrac Infinity NeuroPD contains EMG biofeedback training protocols (scripts) and can also be used for open EMG biofeedback training. A detailed assessment protocol allows the practitioner to monitor patient progress across a variety of muscle functions. EMG biofeedback can be used with young children.

Examples of diagnoses:

EMG biofeedback can be used for diagnostics or for treatment.

Threshold Electrical Stimulation

TES is a form of Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) however unlike conventional NMES, TES is applied at the sensory level giving only a very low level of stimulation over a long period of time. The equipment consists of a small two channel pocket sized NMES stimulator, wire leads and four electrodes.

The primary use for TES is disuse muscle atrophy, however increased awareness of the area treated with TES has been noted in many cases.

Examples of diagnoses:

 

TES applied to upper arm and scapula muscles in a child with a brachial plexus injury.
