NeuroMove NM900™
The NM900 uses 3 sensors. Once in place, the electrodes detect electrical signals sent from the brain to nerves inside the muscle. This electromyography (EMG) activity registers on the NeuroMove’s display screen. The less activity there is in a muscle, the harder it is to move that muscle.
Increasing the electrical activity requires reteaching the brain to send messages to the affected muscle. This is where imagination and concentration help out. By simply thinking about moving a muscle, a person raises the electrical activity present in that muscle.
The computer inside the NM900 evaluates the
amount of activity present in the muscle, then sets a higher standard that
the patient should try to reach by concentration. Upon reaching this mark
(threshold) the patient is rewarded with electrical stimulation that makes
the muscle move for a few seconds. Success is measured in the actual
movement of a hand, arm, etc. and gives the patient greater control over
the extremity.
