No other computerized system adjusts to the patient to ensure optimum programming and safety, instead of having the patient adjust to the system. Simple, non-invasive procedure with pre-amplified surface electrodes. Help identify malingerers and substantiate workers' compensation claims by integrating muscle activity with muscle function. (optional) EMG Data Acquisition Package
Patient protocols for testing and exercise are stored on the computer hard disk and can be transferred to individual floppy diskettes. Large amounts of data can be easily stored, retrieved, or compared. Ariel users may develop customized data bases based on normative data or their own patient populations. Research files may be transferred between Ariel users by modem. User Files
