New Myoguide Training page
Check out the new Myoguide training page! Introducing the Myoguide Training Page on our website. We have located the most important videos and information related to how to use Myoguide; the benefits of injection guidance; The finer points to consider when using Myoguide; Best electrode practices for EMG/STIM injection guidance procedures; and details about loaner programs, all…
A Treatise on the Role of Trigger Points in Pain and Spasticity
This article is the first in a series about the role of trigger points in pain and spasticity conditions. Trigger Points are areas of taut, hyper-contracted bands or nodules within a muscle. They are tender to touch and have a predicted pain referral pattern. These hyper-contracted nodules within the muscle are palpable. Myofascial pain may…
EMG Guidance Helps Find the Target
There are many compelling reasons to use EMG guidance. The first is that EMG ensures that the needle is located in a muscle and in a muscle that is actively contracting in association with the disorder. Speelman and Brans (Cervical dystonia and botulinum treatment: is electromyographic guidance necessary? (Letter). Mov Disor 1995;10(6):802) showed that even…
Muscle Spasm Etiology
This article is the second in a series about the role of trigger points in pain and spasticity conditions. Muscular injury can occur when soft tissues are exposed to single or recurrent episodes of biomechanical overloading. Muscular pain is often attributed to a myofascial pain disorder, a condition originally described by Dr. Janet Travell, Dr.…
Intronix Product Retrospective: 2024F
Following our anniversary we can get a bit sentimental looking back at devices developed during our neuroscience research phase. Some of these devices were very specific and some had more mass appeal. We have designed and fabricated everything from intracellular microelectrode amplifiers to biphasic-isolated stimulators. The Intronix Model 2024F 4-channel isolated amplifier with signal conditioning…
The Evolution of Myoguide
The Myoguide™ EMG/ESTIM BoNT injection guidance system you see today started development in 2006, over 16 years ago. We asked movement disorder specialists about the value of a portable device, to support therapeutic toxin injections. This evolution timeline extended to our first regulatory clearance in 2007, for BTX Buddy! Who came up with that name?…
AAPM&R 2014
Thanks to all who visited our booth at the AAPM&R meeting in San Diego. This is our third time at the AAPM&R and this year’s booth had the most traffic. We were very interested to hear about your practices, and glad to provide information about Myoguide. We are glad we had the opportunity to provide…
Myoguide Guided Injection Best Electrode Practices
We would like to present the following guidelines to ensure you have the best possible situation for measuring great EMG signals from the hypodermic needle electrode to support your injection guidance procedures
Myoguide has Superior EMG Audio and Stimulation Features.
Myoguide’s EMG bandwidth is tuned to record from the highest density of EMG spectral elements. Myoguide can measure a range of 10-700Hz and the audio section can produce high fidelity sounds that range from 20-700Hz. This is creates the best possible EMG audio within a the range of the most important EMG spectral elements needed…
Intronix Technologies Introduces Myoguide™ iNFOcard, Providing Physicians With Pertinent Information Rapidly, Concisely and in Multiple Formats
The operator’s manual may be useful for setting up a piece of equipment, but when it comes to medical technology, one Canadian developer of medical devices realized physicians want information quickly, succinctly, and in a variety of formats. The new Myoguide™ iNFOcard, an electronic library that will ship with every new Myoguide™ EMG Guided Injection System.
