General Information

The Vectra Genisys sEMG + Stim modality utilizes sEMG biofeedback activity coupled with triggered electrical muscle stimulation using
selected electrotherapy waveforms for the maximum benefit in muscle retraining . The sEMG + Stim will not function as a multi-channel
modality . It is designed for single channel use only . However, it is available to all electrotherapy channels .
The Electrical Muscle Stimulation is triggered when the muscle contraction (sEMG portion of the therapy) reaches the target . sEMG stops
and the muscle is then electrically stimulated for a period . After stimulation, the patient is given a short rest period and then repeats the
muscle contraction, attempting to reach the target to again trigger the electrical stimulation . This is repeated throughout the therapy
session .
Session parameters can be stored on a Patient Data Card . The Patient Data Card can be used with the optional Patient Data Management
System for adding session notes and printing reports . Several sessions can be stored on a Patient Data Card . Any of the sessions stored on
the Patient Data Card can be recalled in the Therapy System for future use .
It is recommended that each patient be assigned a Patient Data Card . Refer to the Vectra Genisys User Manual for Patient Data Card set up
and use instructions .
The sEMG portion of sEMG + Stim modality is used to force the patient to contract the muscle to a prescribed target . The data cannot be
recorded or stored on the Patient Data Card or the sEMG Data Card .
NOTE: This section applies only to models capable of supporting the functions of the sEMG module .
