NeuroTrac® MyoPlus PRO Operation Manual
Introduction This unit is one of a new breed of modern EMG and Neuromuscular Stimulators which Verity Medical Ltd have developed with the Therapist and Patient in mind. Our main goal is to design products that have a high level of functional use, are sensibly priced, compact and user friendly. The MyoPlus Pro units come with one, two or four channels. This is a single channel unit, easy to use at home. It has a colour touch screen with a lot of helpful information under the “i“ touch button which helps the user to understand the use of a selected programme. This single channel model is ideal for advanced incontinence treatment with the combination of most effective modalities of Stimulation, ETS and Biofeedback training, all in one unit. The MyoPlus device can be used with or without a linkup to a PC. The MyoPlus is always bluetooth-ready so there is no need to switch the bluetooth on or off. Please note that the MyoPlus switches off the bluetooth automatically after 3 minutes of no connection with PC Software in order to save energy. To establish the connection, power the unit off and back on again to switch the bluetooth on. Once connected, the bluetooth stays on as long as the unit is in operation. Additionally, the unit has a concealed button which enables the therapist to accurately monitor the Patient Daily Compliance with a prescribed home treatment course. EMG helps the therapist diagnose and treat a broad variety of conditions and it enables the patient to monitor their progress with an accurate visual and audio biofeedback. Up until recently there has been little equipment available on the market for the therapist and patient to choose from at an affordable price. The NeuroTrac® MyoPlus is the solution to this problem. Neuromuscular Stimulation is increasingly understood by therapists and doctors. Nowadays, there is a better understanding of the mechanisms between nerves and muscles, which make it possible to stimulate the neuromuscular system with precise electrical signals. The MyoPlus unit offers precise signals giving full control of Pulse Widths, Rates, Ramp up times, Work / Rest cycles or cycles from the pre-defined template.
Customer care We welcome constructive comments regarding our equipment, particularly those that might help us to improve existing features, add new ones and/or develop new products for the future.

Running stimulation programme 1. You can start any stimulation programme by pressing the + button on the keypad. 2. Your treatment may have one or many time phases (STIM MOD, STIM WR (▲▼), STIM CON, ETS, EMG). The phase is a portion of treatment with the specific parameters. For example, one phase could be for warm up, another for the actual training, another for relaxation, etc. For preset programme, follow the programme instructions. For custom programme, ask your treatment supervisor what the phases are for and which intensity level should be used. 3. The overall programme timer [minutes] counts down. 4. The current phase timer [minutes: seconds] counts down. 6. The graphical animation of stimulation. 7. Frequency [Hz] and Pulse Duration [µS] are the technical parameters of actual stimulation output 5. When you press + or button on the keypad, the mA intensity level is adjusted. 8. If the phase type is WR (▲▼), the unit stimulates for some time and then goes to idle period (rest) where it measures your EMG [µV] . This is very useful, as you should be relaxed in between stimulation periods (work). Try to relax as much as you can when you don’t feel stimulation. The ball on the screen represents the level of your relaxation. When the ball on the screen goes down (below 4 µV) then your relaxation ability is excellent, otherwise you may be overstimulated and this is an indication to take a break. Note! For the ball to work properly you should either use the REF electrode or touch the metal plate with your fingers (see page 9).

Each custom programme can have upto 5 phases, each phase can be programmed in the following modality:
EMG
EMG is available as a stand-alone button (Home ►EMG ►Work/ Rest), or you may select EMG as one of the phases in your custom programme. For example, by placing your Biofeedback EMG phase at the very end of the programme, to test your muscle performance after stimulation. When in EMG phase, the unit measures the muscular activity when you contract muscles voluntarily. You can use Biofeedback EMG for assessment or training. You can use EMG just for neuromuscular training. When you see or hear the Work prompt, contract and hold your muscles until you see the Rest prompt. Relax your muscles when you see the Rest prompt. This visualized biofeedback training allows you to see and hear and measure your performance and progress. To assess neuromuscular activity, follow the Work and Rest prompts with your voluntary contraction and relaxation. The unit measures your muscular performance and the result is displayed as a set of EMG statistics by the end of the programme.
15
NeuroTrac® MyoPlus PRO Operation Manual
ETS
ETS (EMG Triggered Stimulation) is a highly effective training technique, available as a stand-alone button on your home screen, or you may select ETS as one of the phase in any custom programme. ETS combines voluntary contractions with neuromuscular stimulation. This combination is regarded as the best approach for muscle rehabilitation, the results are achieved faster than EMG on its own or using stimulation only. In Classic ETS, user is prompted to contract muscles during work period of time and relax during Rest period of time. As soon as the certain threshold of effort is reached, the stimulation appears to help sustain the contraction. If you set auto-threshold in general settings (see page 33), the unit will rise or drop the target threshold depending on actual performance. This way, auto-threshold encourages better stronger contractions, but keeps threshold within the limits of possibilities. If you set nETS type of the phase, your stimulation will be triggered by the end of Work period, regardless of voluntary effort or can be triggered earlier if you reach the target threshold sooner. nETS is a good start up in case of very weak muscles.
STIM Continuous stimulation is typically used for TENS pain relief, blood CON flow improvement or as a warm up before Work/Rest stimulation. Please seek the advice of specialists when selecting the parameters. This type of stimulation produces a constant output intensity (mA) level during the whole programme. STIM Work/Rest stimulation is typically used for NMS (neuro-muscular WR stimulation). This stimulation type is used to perform non-voluntary ▲▼ muscular contractions to build up pelvic floor endurance. The Work time is when the stimulation provokes the muscular contractions, typically for 4-8 seconds, followed by Rest time during which there is no stimulation and the patient should relax the pelvic floor. The rest time is typically twice the Work time to allow proper resting in between efforts. Please seek the advice of specialists when selecting the parameters. STIM The modulated stimulation. It works similarly to the above Work/ MOD Rest type. The difference is on Rest period of time where the unit stimulates with the lower frequency and higher pulse width. This is particularly useful for pelvic strength exercises where during the rest time you want a lower frequency stimulation to improve the relaxation. The MOD phase can also be easily adjusted as modulated TENS used for pain relief and variety of other applications. Please seek the advice of specialists when selecting the parameters.
