Utilizing high quality bipolar surface electrodes, surface EMG data can be taken from up to eight muscle sites simultaneously and in real time. The program permits taking electromyography data either at rest or in function. All eight channels may be displayed simultaneously, for a period of 15 seconds (one visual screen width). The K7/EMG signal processing circuitry provides unsurpassed protection against system noise or motion artifact. The patient education mode permits quick and easy patient education as to status of masticatory muscles.
An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices designed to record parameters for mandibular and muscles of mastication function, primarily to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of temperomandibular joint (TMJ) and myofascial pain dysfunction (MPD) disorders, and for orthodontic, denture, and reconstruction patient evaluation. It typically uses surface electromyography to evaluate muscle groups at rest or in function; sonography to detect sounds/vibrations from the TMJ joint and/or other computer-based system to non-invasively track the mandible in function or identify its position in space relative to the skull.
