How to use EMG session

Your Simplex device is designed to perform a series of voluntary contraction
(Work) and relaxation (Rest) exercises. The contraction/relaxation is repeated
many times (Trials) and the whole procedure is called a session. Press the Start
button and follow the on-screen and audio prompts which tell you when you
should contract and when to relax. By the end of the session, the statistics are
displayed. The session can be used as training or assessment.
EMG Biofeedback Training is used to facilitate the rehabilitation by allowing
the patient a visual (bargraph and EMG µV reading) and an audio (beeps)
representation of his/her actual muscular performance. Once you hear and see
the muscle during the voluntary attempts to contract and then to relax, you
can consciously develop the ability you need (faster relaxation, stronger hold,
quicker response, etc). Typically you would use a training session intensively
for several times a day or cautiously for several times a week.
EMG Biofeedback Assessment is used when the performance results
(statistics) are needed to be collected for a periodic comparison. You press
the START button to use the session not for a regular training but now for the
examination. Upon a completed session, the statistical results are displayed
(see the Statistics chapter).
