Training with reactive EMG - T&H - Elbow flexion
The video shows an example of working with a patient using T&H reactive electromyography training in the elbow joint.
To start training, place the electrodes on the biceps, side by side, as shown in the video. Place the reference electrode on the bone process, e.g. on the elbow. Perform unweighting procedure, range of motion adjustment and calibration, see.
The patient must activate the muscle to be above the threshold line and maintain this activation until the extension reaches the end of the range of motion. When the patient relaxes, the extension will return to the beginning of the range of motion. It is an active movement supported by a robot.
Positioning electrodes for T&H and T&R training (see electrode placement):
- for flexion: biceps brachii
- for extension: triceps brachii
T&R exercise of elbow flexion using the Mezos SIT chair. It makes positioning of the patient easier. If necessary, you can also use a glove to stabilize patient’s hand.
