TENSIOMYOGRAPHY

Tensiomyography (TMG) is measuring method for detecting skeletal muscles’ contractile properties. It enables selective

measurements of radial muscle belly enlargements in single muscle. Muscle is stimulated with single electrical stimulus or train of

electrical stimuli (tetanic stimulation). Measurements are carried out under isometric conditions.

METHOD

Radial displacement of skeletal muscle belly is proportional to relative muscle force. TMG provides selective information on

contractile properties of neuro-muscular system. Measuring method is non-invasive.

PROTOCOL

Measured subject is sitting or laying on one side, on the back or on the front, depending on measured muscle. Joints are put in

natural physiognomic position – flexed for 5 – 20 degrees. Both electrodes are placed symmetric to sensor; positive electrode

(anode) is placed proximal and negative electrode (cathode) distal, 50 – 60 mm from measuring point. Electrodes are self-

adhesive. In portable measuring system the cathode can be integrated part of a sensor.

Measuring tool – the displacement sensor is pressed to the skin above measured muscle belly, radial to the surface. Positioning of

the sensor is performed in voluntary contracted or electrically stimulated muscle by palpation. Initial displacement of the sensor is

set manually or automatic with servo system.

ELECTRICAL STIMULATION

Electrical stimulation consists of single DC electrical stimuli of 1 ms duration. Their amplitude is of supramaximal value. Tetanic

stimulation is a set of 0.1 ms DC stimuli. Pulse amplitude is adjusted to measured subjects, pulse frequency ranges from 10 to 40

Hz – depending on the process observed. For electrical stimulation mainly current impulse generator is used. It is powered by

installed batteries.

Stimuli are repeated three to five times with at least 5 s pauses between them. Muscle responses are stored and analyzed with a

PC.

PARAMETERS OF MUSCLE BELLY RESPONSE

TMG signals are analyzed in order to determine the following parameters: delay time, contraction time, sustain time, relaxation time

and maximal amplitude. Additionally also statistical analysis, differences between agonistic pairs, synergistic pairs and lateral pairs

can be calculated.

RESULTS AND MEASUREMENT ANALYSIS S

Standard output of TMG measurement is table of results, which is included in this report. Extended report contains also graphs of

measured muscles’ responses.

It is possible to request for additional analyses on the basis of TMG measurement database.

Discussion on measuring results is based on comparison between measured subject data and database of average responses

(with standard deviation) for each muscle or database on specific sport.

AGREEMENT

Measured person, measurement performer and applicant are informed about the test (TMG) and its objective.

Measured person agrees that test results can/will be used for sport training technology planning, for diagnostics and rehabilitation

with patients with neuro-muscular diseases and injuries.

Measurement performer may use test results for research of contractile properties of skeletal muscles according to medical and

sports ethics and protection of personal data.

AUGMENT YOUR WORK WITH UNIQUE INSIGHT INTO MUSCLE FUNCTION

SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED, FUNCTIONAL AND SELECTIVE MUSCLE MEASUREMENTS

Our proprietary and patented TMG - S1 measurement system is based on tensiomyo-graphy, a scientifically validated method substantiated by more than 50 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 PROCESS

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

THE MEASUREMENTPROCESS

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

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

2. MEASUREMENT OF RADIAL DISPLACEMENT CAUSED BY MUSCLE CONTRACTION

THE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

Our patented measurement system was developed in cooperation with the Laboratory for Biomedical and Muscle Biomechanics at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. 3
