Description
DuoBravo is a modern device for biofeedback and neuromuscular stimulation. The term biofeedback refers to a method to perceive biological processes with the help of a technical device. This instrument measures physical activity – even if they are not visible or not voluntary – and converts them to optical and/or sound signals. Nevertheless DuoBravo is not a diagnostic tool, but a combined two-channel device that can be flexibly used for electromyography (EMG) or EMG-triggered stimulation (ETS) or for neuromuscular stimulation only.
DuoBravo is available in three different versions. DuoBravo U can be used for urologic, gynecologic, and proctologic therapy while DuoBravo N is designed for neurologic and orthopedic treatments. The combination device DuoBravo U + N contains all programs. Each version includes preset EMG and ETS-programs as well as multiple invariant stimulation programs in different modes. Additionally the devices have 4 free customizable programs in which individual STIM-, EMG- and/or ETS-phases, or even their combination can be set.
During treatment it’s not necessary to hold DuoBravo, since it can stand upright on a flat surface. This allows the patient the training or the treatment while observing the success of the individual efforts. The muscle activity is indicated by a yellow-green bargraph on each side of the screen and by numerical values in the bottom-line of the display.
At the end of each session, the screen automatically displays the average values of muscle activity in this session. The therapy control memory in the device allows a quick overview of the treatment data at any time, but it’s also possible to see the statistics of the last 365 therapy-days. The DuoBravo can be used with or without connection to a personal computer. The stored treatment data can be transmitted easily to the PC later using special software available.
