Use any one muscle as a single or dual ability switch! Sensitive to even the lightest muscle twitch since it actually senses the electrical nerve impulse to the muscle rather than any muscle movement. Read Testimonial Tab: \"being freed from the necessity of having my arm or head precisely positioned to operate a more traditional driving mechanism, I can independently use the full range of seating functions without losing my ability to return to a driving position.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese versatile and easy to use EMG switch interface or Electromyogram can be used to operate 2 separate or unique systems including an electric power wheelchair, as a nurse-call, switch scanning input for speech generating devices, environmental control, computer access, and perfect companion to control the PowerGrip Assisted Grasp Orthosis for users with movement in only one arm. Can be used with ANY device capable of accepting inputs from ability switches including our video game controllers, etc. \u003cspan\u003eResponds instantly (10ms).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you haven’t been able to control switches because of ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, or spinal cord injury, these switches can help you achieve greater independence. Unlike other switches, the EMG switch senses the tiny signals which activate muscle. Use of the muscle control signals from your nervous system to your muscle makes the switch very easy to activate, even if the muscle itself is not strong enough to provide functional use. The sensor is connected directly on the muscle site which makes attachment simple. The sensor does not depend on motion so it remains in the proper position even as you move around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable from these Augmentative Communication Experts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords Plus - Gaylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis versatile and easy to use switch interface can be used as a caregiver alert, as a mouse click for computer access, as a switch input for speech generating devices, and as a control switch for power wheelchairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eSmall 3.2”W x 1.3”H x 4.8”L enclosure — with rapid response rate 10ms!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eSenses muscle activations and provides switch closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eSimple threshold adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eProvides standard 3.5mm connector to control switch activated devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eBuilt in digital signal processing extracts intentional activations from weak muscles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eBattery powered operation using standard external USB rechargeable battery packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eCompatible with readily available Ag\/AgCl EMG patch electrodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf you haven’t been able to control switches because of ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, or spinal cord injury, our products can help you achieve independence.

New users will sometimes try activating the muscle once or twice within a few seconds of placement, find it unresponsive, and move the sensor searching for a better location on the muscle. Often patience is all that is required, then adjust the sensitivity. Only move the sensor as a last resort after about two minutes and a final adjustment of the sensitivity. After using the EMG Switch a few times you will learn the optimal placement of the sensor on your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"DCC4B91E_F000_DDF7_CEEF_BD9FB5C11F53\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadened Horizons","offers":[{"title":"Single Sensor Dual Output","offer_id":39305164587126,"sku":"SwE1022.a","price":17615.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"EMG PowerGrip Controller","offer_id":39305164619894,"sku":"SwE1022.PG","price":17615.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"EMG Bilateral PowerGrip Controller","offer_id":39305164652662,"sku":"SwE1022.PG2","price":33468.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1596\/7647\/files\/IMG_6376x_sm.jpg?v=1688671250","url":"https:\/\/assistive.tech\/products\/emg-switch","provider":"Inclusive Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
