Therapy with SineBravo
SineBravo is a versatile device for biofeedback-treatment.
The device has two pre-set EMG-programs (P01 + P02), that can be used without further
adjustment. But if you like to create your own treatment with custom parameters, you can select
one of the three custom programs (PC1 - PC3). Here you can congure your own programs to
meet your therapy requirements.
Use of pre-set programs
1. Connect the electrodes to the device (s.p. 39)
2. Place electrodes or probe according to the instructions of your therapist
3. Switch on SineBravo with the central ON/OFF-button
4. Select the desired program with the PRG-button
5. Press START and the threshold will be set automatically by doing two short
work/rest-periods. If that’s not required, you can switch o this function by holding the
START-button for three seconds (s.p. 48) In this case you can set threshold manually with
the +/-button of the respective channel before starting the program.
The device indicates a pre-set rhythm of work and rest, that the patient shall execute as precisely
as possible.
During work-period the symbol of the st with arrow up
is displayed on the screen. The feedback regarding the
success of your own muscular activities is given by the
increasing numbers in the lowest line and by the yellow/green
bargraph on each side of the display. Reaching the green area shows
that the threshold - regardless whether it has been detected automatically or has been set
manually - is met and the trial was successful. Additionally this success is indicated by beeps.
Please take care to keep your eorts active, until the time, that is indicated beside the st, has
counted down to zero and the symbol of the open hand with arrow down appears.
Then relax the muscle as much as possible.
If you have chosen automatic threshold adjustment during
treatment, threshold will be reduced if you are not
successful and it would be easier to succeed in the next trial.
If this next trial is successful again, the threshold will increase.
The whole process of work and rest shall be repeated until the number
of remaining trials 00 (s.p. 39). Please note that the display doesn’t change before the rest-
phase is completed.
If relaxation is the target for the treatment, the positive signal will be given during the work
period (that is indicated by the st), if muscle tension is below the threshold.
