The aim of treatment with EMG-triggered muscle stimulation is to regain control over disabled or paralyzed body parts following a stroke or other motor loss. Electrodes are attached to the muscle of the disabled limb to be treated and connected to the device via a cable. Even if the patient cannot visibly move the muscle, signals sent by the brain still reach it. The specially developed device measures the activation of the „brain waves“ when the patient attempts to move. If a certain threshold of the triggering current is exceeded, electrical stimulation takes over the function of the movement. Regularly performing this exercise leads to a training effect with the aim of being able to move the affected extremities again without aids. The current pulses used are completely harmless and the therapy can also be carried out at home after appropriate instruction, possibly with the help of a family member. EMG (feedback) triggered muscle stimulation supports the active training of a muscle function with the help of the patient. The patient learns to control a specific muscle correctly and is corrected by the technique if the movement pattern is incorrect. The therapy is used in the rehabilitation of stroke, neurological diseases, incontinence treatment and other pathway losses.
