ELEVATE YOUR WORK WITH A UNIQUE INSIGHT INTO MUSCLE FUNCTION

TMG S2 SYSTEM

SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED, FUNCTIONAL AND SELECTIVE MUSCLE MEASUREMENTS

Our proprietary and patented TMG-S2measurement system is based on tensiomyography, a scientifically validated method substantiated by more than 150 independent studies.

TMG provides relevant information about muscle contractile properties in an objective, selective and non-invasive way. It gives insights into: muscle composition, muscle functional characteristics, local muscle fatigue, atrophy, muscle inhibition, spasticity, tonus, and more. High repeatability enables long-term monitoring of acute and chronic changes in muscle function.

AN EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT MONITORING TOOL

Our methodology is based on selective, qualitative and quantitative monitoring of treatments or action plans with fast and simple measurements to determine the results of your interventions.

THE MEASUREMENTPROCESS

The measurement is completely non-invasive, fast and user-friendly. The displacement sensor is placed on the skin above the selected muscle, which is artificially stimulated with an electrical stimulator to obtain a standardized, repeatable contraction. The sensor measures the displacement and obtains time-based characteristics.

The results are displayed in real time on a screen as time/displacement curves. The dynamic response time of the sensor is depicted in the millisecond range, allowing you to distinguish the differences in the reaction between fast and slow muscle fibres.
