This pack includes one TSD250 VMG transducer and AcqKnowledge software for MP150 Windows with a VMG License. VMG software is optimized for the TSD250 and BIOPAC will not support or guarantee the performance of third-party transducers. The pack provides sensitive microelectromechanical (MEMS) accelerometers and advanced signal analysis algorithms to monitor muscle vibration. The technique allows researchers to study muscle performance and strength balance.
The accelerometers are secured over the muscle belly* and record the small vibrations that occur when the muscle is activated. AcqKnowledge software uses wavelet packet analysis to extract the vibrational components that correlate with the effort generated by the muscle being studied. AcqKnowledge includes automated VMG analysis filters to simplify the analysis process.
VMG provides extremely reproducible results. The single sensor solution and the lack of skin preparation improve the reliability and reproducibility of muscle effort recordings between muscles and across subjects.
Benefits
- Ability to perform muscle balance assessments
- Improved reproducibility between muscles and individuals
- Convenient setup
- Reduced setup time
- Improved subject comfort
- No electrodes
-
No skin preparation
Interface
MP150: via HLT100C. The HLT100C is not included with this pack.
* Transducer can be secured with a variety of attachment methods (not included), such as double-sided adhesive tape, Ace® bandages
and Nylatex® wraps (2.5” or 4” width suggested). Do not use excessive pressure in securing the transducers—snug enough not to move
is adequate.
