Noraxon Introduces MyoTrace Plus
Low-Cost, Handheld Surface EMG Device for Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
Applications
 Scottsdale, Ariz. (October 14, 2003) - Noraxon U.S.A. Inc., a
leader in surface electromyography, announced today the availability of the
MyoTrace Plus, a 2-in-1 handheld surface EMG (SEMG) device that is easy-to-use
at a low cost for biofeedback training or data collection and analysis. This
unit collects and stores two channels of sEMG and four additional channels of
analog data simultaneously, creates reports and stores data for easier tracking
of patient progress.
“Physical therapists and other clinical applications can now have access
to the sophisticated, patent-protected SEMG technology used on all of our higher-end
products at a low cost, through MyoTrace Plus,” said Randy Raisanen, president
of Noraxon.
MyoTrace Plus includes the MyoTrace 200 handheld unit and the Noraxon Isolated
A/D system. This Isolated A/D system connects with the MyoTrace 200 via a simple,
lightweight cable. It also has four inputs for any typical analog signal, including
kinetic or kinematic signals. Its Universal Serial Bus (USB) port greatly simplifies
interfacing to a PC and the adjustable gain allows for greater flexibility in
muscle measuring options.
The system includes a software package that handles everything from data acquisition
to signal processing, biofeedback and report generation. Data is stored permanently
to a computer's hard drive, and unlike most handheld SEMG devices, the data
is not averaged, smoothed or manipulated in any way. In fact, the data can be
sampled up to 3000 Hz per channel. Noraxon's internationally patented signal
processing technology is used to provide clear, consistent and reliable data.
