Reactive EMG Games (Space Shooter)
From the list of exercises choose “Reactive EMG Games ” – these are games controlled by EMG activity and the extension supports the patient’s movement. Press the “Settings” button. Carry out the unweighting procedure and set/confirm the range of motion. In the “Training information” tab put the patient’s position and muscles connected through EMG or select it from the list.
In the “Orthopedic EMG games” tab select the “Space Shooter” game and the appropriate level. Then choose the EMG channel that is connected to the muscle being trained and the direction of the movement. On this screen, you can also set the extension speed or maximum torque. Click “START“.
Go to the calibration screen. Click “Start“. Ask the patient to try to make a move and activate the right muscle. Click “Finish” calibration. You will jump automatically to the game screen. The patient can control the spacecraft by activating and relaxing the muscle, and the extension supports the patient in making the move.
The goal of the game is to collect stars, avoid asteroids or shoot alien ships. You can finish the game, before its end, by pressing the pause button at the right side of a screen and then the “x” button.
